The chances of seeing Leo Messi (34) participate in Lyon-PSG on Sunday night are not zero, but they are dwindling day by day. The Argentinian star, back in France since Wednesday following contracting Covid-19 in his native country, did not participate in collective training this Friday at Camp des Loges as was already the case on Thursday when he was was content with an individual session.
The “Pulga” must resume the course of training with the rest of the group, gradually over the next few days. There is therefore nothing to certify its presence in the Parisian group this Sunday. The capital club has decided to take maximum precautions with its star player. Indeed, unlike some of his partners who contracted the coronavirus, Messi had symptoms during his illness.
The medical staff therefore insisted on a gradual return to avoid harmful consequences on his health. In the event of a forfeit once morest OL, his absence would be added to those already recorded in the attack of Neymar (ankle), Draxler and Di Maria also affected by the Covid-19.
