The Argentinian, tested negative in recent days after contracting the virus during the winter break, “will continue its post-Covid individual recovery protocol for the next few days”. He had already missed the trip to Vannes in the Coupe de France.
PSG, solid leader of the championship, will play this trip to the Rhône without several players. Besides Messi, Angel Di Maria, Julian Draxler, Danilo Pereira, Layvin Kurzawa and Gianluigi Donnarumma are also affected by Covid-19. Idrissa Gueye, Achraf Hakimi and Abdou Diallo are at the African Cup of Nations.
