Messi still does not train with the group despite testing negative

Despite having tested negative for coronavirus, Leo Messi is a doubt for Sunday’s game contra el Olympique de Lyon. According to information from RMC Sport, the Argentine star has not trained today with the PSG squad (He did not jump onto the Camp des Loges grass yesterday) and has done individual work with the aim of getting physically fit three days after the momentous match corresponding to matchday 20 of Ligue 1.

On Wednesday, the Rosario landed in France after having spent several days in isolation due to the positive that he gave during Christmas. Messi, who missed last Monday’s French Cup match against Vannes while still in Argentina, his participation in the match against Lyon is not guaranteed. Pochettino will not force him and will only summon him if he is at 100% physically.

Sunday’s could be the eleventh game Messi has missed since he signed for PSG. Between injuries, absences due to trips to Argentina during international breaks and the positive Christmas, the former Barcelona player is not having the desired continuity in the French capital. Tomorrow, PSG trains in the morning at Camp des Loges in a training session that will be decisive in determining whether or not Messi can enter the squad for Lyon.
