Before the match against Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 of the Champions League, PSG received good news as both Messi and Mbappe have returned to training and are included in the roster for the match.
The match between PSG vs Bayern Munich takes place on February 15th.
In recent times, PSG was worried about their two-star players, Messi and Mbappe, both suffering from injuries. Mbappe had issues in the match against Montpellier on February 2nd and was missing from several recent matches of PSG against Toulouse, Marseille, and Monaco. Meanwhile, Messi also suffered an injury after a match against Marseille in the French Cup. Both players were uncertain to play in the match against Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 of the Champions League.
However, good news arrived as they recovered miraculously. Mbappe returned to training with his teammates on Sunday. At that time, he still had to train in functional movements but was able to shoot and run normally. Messi also returned to training yesterday without any problems.
In view of this, Coach Christophe Galtier has included both of PSG's superstars in the roster for the match against Bayern Munich. Only Renato Sanches and Mukiele are missing due to their injuries.
The German newspaper Bild claims that PSG intentionally spread false information about the extent of Mbappe and Messi's injuries to cause confusion for Bayern Munich before the match. The newspaper uses Mbappe's case as an example. Initially, the French club announced that the player's condition was serious and he was likely to miss the match against Bayern Munich.
However, at the last minute, both Mbappe and Messi appeared on the training field as if nothing had happened. However, this is just a speculation of the Bild newspaper. The reality might only be known by PSG.
Regardless, the return of these two-star attackers is also a psychological boost for PSG. They are currently in a difficult situation after losing two recent matches against Monaco and Marseille. In addition, some sources in France say that there is internal turmoil within PSG, with Neymar being seen as the instigator of the unrest.
