We understand better why Leo Messi on the evening of December 31 spoke in a message on the internet of “fucking virus that never ends”. The Argentine star of PSG contracted covid-19 (27-12 last), he had more pronounced symptoms than some of his teammates and now he is struggling to recover. After a week in isolation, Messi returned to Paris on January 5 but since then the Golden Ball has still not resumed collective training.
Yesterday, in a message on instagram, the 34-year-old player indicated putting “longer than expected” to recover from Covid-19. His trainer, Mauricio Pochettino gave news of his compatriot
Leo is better but he is still under the control of the medical staff. I reassure, he is better and I hope he will come back soon to be with us in training.
The coach then clarified that “no” Messi will not play against Brest (Saturday 9 p.m.). Then the PSG specified in a press release that the player “continues its work with the medical staff and will gradually reintegrate the group next week.”
