Lionel Messi: the estimated date for the Argentine to return to play with PSG

Lionel Messi is already training with the rest of his PSG teammates and is preparing to return to the pitch. The striker tested positive for coronavirus, which is why he was absent from the team’s first appointments in 2022: French Cup (the win against Vannes), and two from Ligue 1 (draw against Olympique Lyon and victory over Brest) .

However, the fans of ‘Les Bleus’ and the Argentine soccer player can breathe easy because number 30 will return to activity before the end of January. In principle, the player would be in consideration to face Reims in Ligue 1 this Sunday the 23rd or on Monday the 31st against Nice for the French Cup.

From Paris Saint Germain they are careful with the return of Messi. The star was infected with COVID-19 in Rosario, where he spent the end of the year holidays with his family, and his recovery was slower than expected, as the footballer himself confessed on his Instagram account. He spent two weeks doing different jobs.

“It took me longer than I thought to be well but I’m almost recovered and I’m really looking forward to getting back on the court. I have been training these days to get 100%, very nice challenges are coming this year and hopefully very soon we can see each other again “Lionel acknowledged on social networks.

Messi has already missed a total of 10 Ligue 1 games this season, between injuries, late returns from the national team and the coronavirus, and has only played 11 games for the Parisian team since arriving at the club last August.

The Albiceleste will not wear

Although with PSG he will have minutes again soon, this will not happen with the Argentine team, which will face Chile and Colombia for the double date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. Coach Lionel Scaloni will give him rest, according to the TyC Sports media .

From Argentina they point out that Paris Saint Germain submitted a request to the AFA, the same one that has been approved, so that Messi does not travel with the Albiceleste and recover with a view to the duel for the Champions League against Real Madrid for the round of 16. final.
