Diagnosed with the virus after the year-end vacation, Messi has yet to take the field in 2022. The Argentine’s last match for PSG was on December 22, 2021, when the Parisian team drew 1-1 with Lorient, away from home, also in Ligue 1.
At 34 years of age, Messi has not yet managed a sequence longer than three games for Paris in the national competition. Before covid, the player had already missed some matches due to muscle injuries.
So far, he has played 11 games for PSG, all as a starter, and only one goal, scored in the 3-1 victory against Nantes.
In addition to the No. 30, coach Mauricio Pochettino also has Kylian Mbappe back at his disposal after the Frenchman recovered from a groin injury.
The Ligue 1 leader with 50 points from 21 games, Paris Saint-Germain faces Reims, this Sunday, at 4:30 pm (EST), at the Parc des Princes.
