PSG’s Argentinian striker Lionel Messi, who suffered a calf injury last week, is ‘operational’ again, two days before Sunday’s Ligue 1 Uber Eats Classique against Olympique de Marseille at the Parc des Princes (Round 11), Paris coach Christophe Galtier said on Friday.
Back in training
« He trained normally with the squad today. He did the whole session, » said Galtier in a press conference. « We’ll see how he recovers from this session, and there’s also tomorrow’s session. As of right now, he is operational. »
Messi suffered a calf injury in the Champions League match at Benfica (1-1) on 5 October and missed the next two games, at Reims in the league (0-0) and again against Benfica (1-1) in the Champions League at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday.
