He appeared particularly cautious Christophe Gaultier regarding the situation of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, in the context of the press conference of the match Paris Saint Germain opposite to Monaco for the Ligue 1.Naturally the questions from the press focused on the Champions League last 16 first leg against Bayern Munich on Tuesday 14th February and whether the team’s two star players will be in the squad.
As for the case of the Argentine, Galtier pointed out that on Monday (13/02) he is expected to return to the training program normally, unlike Mbappe whose situation is still not clear.
Specifically about Lionel Messi’s chances of playing against the Bavarians:
“Leo has some muscle problems caused by fatigue but is expected to return to training on Monday ahead of the match against Bayern Munich. He will not be available against Monaco but we expect him to be back on Monday, so he can be considered a doubt for Tuesday’s clash. Injuries are a correlation of the large number of games and don’t forget there’s a World Cup in between.”
Regarding the injury to the team’s leading French scorer this season:
“There was a prediction of a three-week absence, Kylian is taking care of himself and his body, but the health of the players is above all, the season still has a long way to go and we don’t intend to risk anyone’s participation.”
