Messi returns to the starting lineup in PSG’s game against Nice for the French Cup

“Leo has trained very well this week, he is in a position to start tomorrow’s match”, anticipated the coach.

Messi, 34, made his first appearance of the year last Sunday when he came on in the 63rd minute of the Ligue 1 thrashing of Reims (4-0).

That participation marked his return to the courts after a month of inactivity, in which he missed the previous crossing for the French Cup and two other French championships.

After playing against Lorient, on December 22, the Argentine traveled to Rosario to celebrate the holidays and contracted Covid-19 before the New Year, which postponed his return to France.

Once in Paris, the Argentine star complied with a gradual training plan, which meant that, in agreement with the coach of the Argentine team, Lionel Scaloni, he was not called up for the Qualifying matches against Chile and Colombia.

PSG, defending champion, will face Nice tomorrow from 5:15 p.m. in the last scheduled bracket for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The other two to be resolved will take place today (Bergerac-Saint Etienne, 2:30 p.m.) and Lens-Monaco (5:00 p.m.).

There was a dispute: Nantes 2-Brest 0; Toulouse 0-FC Versailles 1; Nancy 0-Amiens 2; Reims 1 (3)-Bastia 1 (5) y Olympique de Marsella 1 (5)-Montpellier 1 (4).
