Lionel Messi is fit enough to be involved in Paris Saint-Germain’s squad for their game against Manchester City — but there are no guarantees he will start.
Messi, 34, was involved in a training session with the rest of his PSG team-mates on Tuesday morning. He missed both Saturday’s win over Montpellier and last Wednesday’s game against Metz due to a minor injury.
And his manager Mauricio Pochettino has now said he will be fit enough to be in the squad for the Champions League game at the Parc des Princes.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday’s game, Pochettino said: “We will wait until tomorrow to confirm who will participate.
“Can I confirm Messi will be there on Tuesday? I never confirm the team the day before. It’s something we will see tomorrow.
“Leo is a bit like Marco Verratti. He’s progressing very well. I think he will be in the squad, but I still have not decided the starting XI.”
