JAKARTA Lionel Messi will certainly join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) early next week so that he may only be able to play in mid-January.
The 2022 World Cup winner is currently in Argentina. PSG still gave him time to enjoy the celebration of the four-year title he won in Qatar.
"Leo [Lionel Messi] has a huge World Cup with a win," said coach Christophe Galtier as quoted by AFP.
The Paris giant gave the owner a holiday time for the seven Ballon d'Or until January 1. Therefore, he was only able to join the squad one or two days later.
"He will come and join us on January 2 or 3 to continue the season with us. He will be recovering between 13 and 14 days," Galtier said.
This means Messi will miss two Ligue 1 games each against Strasbourg on Thursday morning tomorrow and Lens on Monday, January 2.
He also likely could not appear in the last 64 match of the French Cup against Chateauroux five days later.
La Pulga is likely to only play when Les Parisiens plays at home against Angers on January 12.
On his return, the 35-year-old may meet PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and other top club officials to sign a one-season contract extension.
His current contract in the French capital expires in the nearest summer. He is reportedly happy and will choose to stay rather than return to his former club Barcelona.
