Messi was last seen in action in Argentina’s 1-0 win over Brazil in the 2021 Copa America final on July 11 (IST). So it’s been more than a month since Messi played. Strasbourg finished 15th last season and chances are PSG won’t be tempted to field Messi. Kylian Mbappe welcomes Lionel Messi to PSG with a special message on Twitter (see photos).
PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has also indicated that Messi will not make his PSG debut against Strasbourg. “The priority is that he feels good. A month ago he played in the Copa America final and he has to make his debut in the best conditions, “said Pochettino, quoted by ESPN. Thus, the chances that Messi takes part in tonight’s game seem less.
