Messi, absent in the 3-0 win against Angers, trained alongside his teammates in search of a place in the formation that Mauricio Pochettino will plan in search of the first title of the year and the tenth in the club’s history at the local level.
Pochettino will also bring back Italian Marco Verratti, Frenchman Presnel Kimpembe and Brazilian star Neymar, who left behind a suspension.
Ángel Di María, whose contract with PSG will end next June, will accompany Messi among those called up, while Leandro Paredes and Mauro Icardi were ruled out due to injury.
PSG was very close to consecration last day with the win against Angers, but Olympique de Marseille, their escort, stopped the Olympic return with success against Nantes by 3-2.
Pochettino’s team leads Jorge Sampaoli’s team by 15 points with five rounds to go. With a draw against Lens, PSG will be the new champion of French football in a season where it suffered several sporting disappointments, including elimination in the round of 16 of the European Champions League against Real Madrid of Spain.

12.00: Lyon-Montpellier
2:00 p.m.: Saint Etienne-Monaco.
