Lionel Messi will not be able to play against Monaco. The Argentine striker is not in the squad-list due to an injury he suffered in the match against Marseille in the French Cup.
However, his availability for the Champions League match is assured. PSG manager Cristophe Galtier confirmed that the Argentina international will be available to play against Bayern Munich.
"We know how important Leo is in our game. He's the one who creates chances and he's a goal-scorer. He's decisive. It's obvious that when you go to Monaco without him, it's a problem. Leo Messi will be back at training on Monday, before the Bayern match, therefore you can get rid off the 'doubt' over him for the game," the coach said.
