PSG feels 'optimistic' about Messi's chances to play against Manchester City in the Champions League. 'L'Equipe' reports that Messi is recovering fast from his left knee injury and that his chances to play against City are really high.
Leo Messi's new life in Paris hasn't been easy as he is suffering from injury problems. He missed PSG's last game against Metz and will also miss the next league game against Montpellier.
It looks like the six-time Ballon D'or winner should make it to the City game. "It is likely, we hope he makes it", said Pochettino.
'L'Equipe' seems optimistic too. The French newspaper reports that Messi has "many chances" of being fit for the Champions League game.
According to the same source, he has been recovering from the injury that made him miss the last couple of games. The only thing left is for him to have a medical check.
This isn't PSG's only good news for the European clash. Marco Verratti is also expected to be fully recovered and could play if Pochettino wants him to.
