It is still too early to say that the black series continues for PSG. And that after Kylian Mbappé, Paris could also give up on the presence of Lionel Messi on Tuesday evening for his round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Bayern Munich. But as announced by L’Équipe, the Argentinian returned safely from Marseille with a hamstring injury overnight from Wednesday to Thursday. For now, there is no need to worry. The Argentinian does not in fact suffer from any injury, but is hampered by muscle fatigue. No risk will obviously be taken with the Argentinian who will not make Saturday’s trip to Monaco in Ligue 1.
After having played the entire match in Marseille on Wednesday evening in the Coupe de France (1-2 defeat), caution forces him to breathe this weekend. His package in Monaco aims to allow him to recover and be operational on Tuesday evening against Bayern. No question, for the time being, of imagining that the “MNM” could therefore be limited to the N of Neymar against Bayern. Even if Kylian Mbappé, victim of a thigh injury since the victory in Montpellier on February 1, remains more than uncertain, the Parisian staff is doing everything to allow him to hope for at least a place on the sidelines.
