Lionel Messi has suffered a knock and will not feature in PSG’s midweek game against FC Metz after sustaining a knee injury against Lyon Roving Naija reports.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have confirmed on their official website this latest development even as they realised that a follow-up examination will be carried out in 48 hours.
PSG’s official statement regarding the same reads as follows:
“Lionel Messi, who took a knock to his left knee against Lyon, underwent an MRI on Tuesday morning which confirmed signs of bruising of the bone. A follow-up examination will be carried out in 48 hours.”
Lionel Messi will now sit out the game against Metz and will have another follow-up assessment of his knee in the next 48 hours. It is not quite clear whether the six-time Ballon d’Or winner will feature in PSG’s game against Montpellier on Saturday.
However, the biggest concern is surrounding the game against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League which takes place the following Tuesday (28th September).
PSG have already dropped points against Club Brugge in their opening game of the continental competition and cannot afford to go further behind the Premier League champions in Group A.
