Leo Messi's long-awaited debut in the PSG jersey is just around the corner. It seems that, finally, the Argentine will have minutes with his new team before the international break.
According to 'L'Équipe', Messi will be in Mauricio Pochettino's squad for the match against Reims if nothing unusual happens during the week. For him, it will be to play and immediately fly to return to wear the shirt of the Argentina national team, with which he won the Copa America in 2021 and took a weight off his shoulders.
The PSG coach's idea is to leave Messi on the bench, as the former Barcelona player could still be suffering from inactivity and a poor pre-season. In any case, Messi is Messi and he has already shown in the past that he can pick up competitive fitness quickly. In that sense, he surely wants to play as soon as possible himself.
PSG have started without Neymar, Messi, Ramos or Donnarumma, but they are on a winning streak in Ligue 1, so everything seems to be going smoothly. The team's good form means that the Argentinian could make his debut if the match against Reims goes well. The rest of the signings, including Camavinga, who has almost been signed, are not known.
