Lionel Messi doubted to appear against Bayern Munich

DBasia.news – Lionel Messi suffered a hamstring injury in PSG’s defeat to Marseille in the Coupe de France that could rule him out of their Champions League match with Bayern Munich, according to L’Equipe.

The World Cup winner has been confirmed to be out of action for the trip to Monaco in Ligue 1 this weekend, but PSG are hoping he can return for the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against the Bavarian on Wednesday (15/2).

PSG are hoping to play Messi, especially after Kylian Mbappe has been sidelined with a thigh injury and is expected to miss the match with Bayern.

Christophe Galtier’s team could play without their star and they are currently in poor form, having also dropped points in Ligue 1 in 2023 against Reims, Rennes and Lens.

The French champions are still searching for their first Champions League trophy and their main aim for signing Messi is to help secure the long-sought trophy.

Messi himself has scored 15 goals in all competitions this season for PSG, and he has netted three goals in six appearances since returning to the team after winning the World Cup with Argentina.

PSG will face Monaco in Ligue 1 on Saturday (11/2) tomorrow before welcoming Bayern to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday (15/2).
