Will we see Lionel Messi at Matmut Atlantique on Saturday against the Girondins? One thing is certain the German supporters of Leipzig will not see him this Wednesday evening. The Argentine genius had to forfeit the match of the 4th day of the Champions League and it is not to save himself for the shock against the Navy and White in three days.
More seriously, Lionel Messi suffers from two minor injuries: hamstring discomfort in his left leg and knee pain following a contusion. Nothing serious but at this stage of the season, it is out of the question to take the slightest risk with the multiple Golden Ball for PSG. Even in the Champions League.
Moreover, he has already missed several Ligue 1 games this season. Two at the start of the season for lack of preparation and two more at the end of September for another injury. Everything will depend on the next few days but today it is unlikely to see him at Matmut Atlantique because, for example, muscle discomfort does not disappear with a snap of the fingers.
After that you have to be wary with Lionel Messi because the Argentinian is the kind of player who wants to play everything. He is a real football glutton. The 34-year-old Argentinian has been very little injured since the start of his career and above all, it is not in his habit to preserve himself at the slightest little problem unlike another of his teammates, a certain Brazilian. Him, if he can play 90 minutes every game, he will and no one will stand in his way. Now Lionel Messi is getting older and like everyone else he is paying more attention to him.
