Paris Saint-Germain will be without Lionel Messi again in their Champions League clash with Benfica on Tuesday night due to injury.
Messi suffered a calf injury during the meeting with the Portuguese side in Lisbon last week. He was immediately substituted by PSG boss Christophe Galtier.
Although they initially played down the severity of the injury, the Argentine didn’t feature in the goalless draw at Reims during the weekend. But Messi won’t only miss the return clash with Benfica, the French club are also sweating over whether the six-time Ballon d’Or winner will be back in time for Le Classique on Sunday, when they meet bitter rivals Marseille.
