Lionel Messi suffers PSG injury blow after making World Cup admission

Argentina star Lionel Messi has been dealt a new injury blow ahead of a big European game for his club, Paris Saint-Germain.

The 35-year-old is running out of opportunities to add to his array of Champions League titles, after falling short in the round of 16 last season. He has been on target in the two most recent group games against Maccabi Haifa and Benfica, but looks set to miss out on the return game against the Portuguese giants.

Messi recently admitted the upcoming World Cup will almost certainly be his last, presenting a final chance to win a trophy which narrowly eluded him in 2014. And he will hope to make a swift recovery to play a full part in Qatar.
