Lionel Messi has a tight hamstring, but there is no tear. He is not likely to play in the match against Monaco ahead of Bayer Munich. Paris Saint-Germain wants to be careful and avoid any risk of further injury. This is because they have important matches coming up, including the one against Bayern Munich. PSG would rather have Messi sit out the match against Monaco to make sure he is fully ready for the match against Bayern, which could be crucial for their season.
