A big concern in PSG: World champion Leo Messi is in doubt for the Champions League Round of 16 match against Bayern Munich, as reported in the media in France this evening (Thursday).
A day after the 2:1 loss against Marseille and the elimination from the French Cup, it became clear that the flea is suffering from pain in the thigh muscle and will definitely be absent from the league game against Monaco at the Stade Louis II on Saturday.
It should be remembered that the French will advance to the first game in the round of 16 (14.2) knowing that there is a big doubt if the injured Kylian Mbappe will be able to take part. Le Parisien reports that “there is a small chance” that the king of the goals of the World Cup will be in the squad for the big game.

If the two are not fit to face the Bavarians, it will be a severe blow to the chances of Paris, who dream of winning the Champions League this season for the first time in history. Messi scored 15 goals this season and added 14 assists in 25 games in all competitions.
