Lionel Messi will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League match against Benfica on Tuesday because of a minor leg injury, the French club have said.
The Argentina forward sat out PSG’s goalless draw at Reims in the French league over the weekend because of the pain in one of his calves.He had first felt the discomfort in his leg toward the end of the 1-1 draw at Benfica last week when the teams first met in Group H.
PSG said in a statement that Messi is not yet ready to play.It read: ‘Nursing a calf niggle, Lionel Messi will not make the game against Benfica.’
