L1: PSG deprived of Lionel Messi in Lorient, Presnel Kimpembe, Fabian Ruiz and Keylor Navas also absent

On Wednesday, against Juventus, Lionel Messi may have played his last match with Paris Saint-Germain before the World Cup. This Saturday, the French champion club confirmed the Argentinian’s package for the trip to Lorient, this Sunday (1:00 p.m.) as part of the 14th day of Ligue 1. “La Pulga” suffers from an inflammation of the tendon of ‘Achilles and is therefore left to rest.

In its press release, PSG specifies that the seven-time Ballon d’Or will resume collective training next week, proof that his injury is not likely to worry the Parisian staff. However, it is difficult to imagine the 35-year-old returning to receive Auxerre on November 13, nine days before Argentina’s first match in the World Cup.

In recent days, several Argentine media even assured that Messi had asked to leave the Parisian group before this meeting in order to prepare, as well as possible, the most important meeting of the year with the Albiceleste.
