Paris Saint-Germain’s Argentine forward Lionel Messi takes part in a training session at the club’s “Camp des Loges” training ground in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, west of Paris on January 5, 2023. AFPPIX: Lionel Messi will be rested for Paris St Germain's French Cup game at third division side Chateauroux as the Argentine forward needs more time to recover from his world Cup winning campaign, coach Christophe Galtier said on Thursday.
“He’s had a fantastic World Cup. He had commitments, going back to his country for the celebrations and we wanted him to recover back home with his family,“ Galtier said ahead of Friday’s trip to Chateauroux in the round of 64. Ligue 1 leaders PSG, who suffered their first competitive loss this season when they were beaten 3-1 at second-placed RC Lens last Sunday, will be without their offensive trio.
“We knew there would be absences after the World Cup. As for Neymar’s absence in training, it had been scheduled after all players were assessed upon their return from the World Cup,“ said Galtier.
