Lionel Messi will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League clash with RB Leipzig due to a fresh injury concern.
The 34-year-old was not named in Mauricio Pochettino’s 21-man squad for Wednesday’s clash, having come off with muscular discomfort at half time against Lille on Friday.
Pochettino explained that the Argentine superstar had picked up a knock after the 2-1 victory, and PSG have now confirmed that he is struggling with two separate issues that have made him unavailable for selection.
It is unknown when Messi will return to action, but it has been reported that the 34-year-old could miss several games.
It has been suggested that Messi has been suffering pain in his knee since playing for Argentina during the September international break and he is reportedly set to fly to Spain to receive expert treatment.
The six-time Ballon d’Or winner could, therefore, be a doubt for PSG’s meeting with Bordeaux on Saturday, and may not be called up for Argentina’s next set of World Cup qualifiers.
