Lionel Messi has been handed an injury scare just two weeks out from the World Cup, although PSG have played down any fears.
The Argentine, who has helped his country embark on a mammoth unbeaten run following their Copa America success last summer, is eyeing glory in Qatar having confirmed this will be his final World Cup. Winning the tournament has eluded Messi throughout his career, but he will be crucial to his country's chances.
PSG take on Lorient this weekend in Ligue 1, yet Messi is due to miss the contest with an inflamed Achilles tendon having played the entirety of their win against Juventus in midweek. The Parisians do expect the forward to return to full training next week and be involved in their game with Auxerre in a weeks' time.
