Messi will not be playing in the game, but according to Galtier, if all goes according to plan, he will resume training on Sunday morning.
Benfica is scheduled to visit PSG on Tuesday at Parc des Princes, and the French club will be hoping that Lionel Messi will be available for a match against archrival Marseille on October 16. We hope Lionel Messi recovers quickly and there are no serious concerns.

PSG was held to a 0-0 road draw against Reims in Ligue 1. PSG played the game without Lionel Messi, while Neymar Jr. was rested from the starting XI. Christophe Galtier opted to start Sarabia and Carlos Soler in the attack with Mbappe. Sergio Ramos was sent off in the 41st minute, reducing PSG to ten men. Finally, Galtier substituted Neymar for Soler in the 57th minute. The Brazilian has been in excellent form so far this season, with 11 goals and eight assists across all competitions. The strategy, however, was unsuccessful as the game finished in a scoreless draw.
