Lionel Andrés Messi, a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain will be missing their Champions League clash against Benfica on Tuesday night due to injury.

Lionel Messi suffered a calf injury during the meeting with the Portuguese side in Lisbon last week, having scored in the encounter which finished 1-1.

The 35-year-old Argentine was immediately substituted by PSG boss Christophe Galtier for precautionary reasons.

Although PSG had initially downplayed the severity of the injury, the Argentine maestro did also not feature in their underwhelming goalless draw at Reims over the weekend

“Leo felt a problem in his calf during the first game with Benfica,” PSG coach Christophe Galtier was quoted to have said on Monday via The Mirror.

“We all thought he was going to be able to play in the second game, but it’s not quite there. There are only six days between the two.

“He’s a lot better, but he still has that feeling that could be problematic in a game of this importance, and he preferred to sit it out.”

However, the 35-year-old football star won’t only miss the return clash with Benfica, but could also be out for this weekend’s Le Classique against bitter rivals Marseille.
