PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino hopes Lionel Messi will be available for Manchester City match

Lionel Messi, suffered a knock on his left knee, will be assessed again on Sunday ahead of the Champions League home game against Manchester City on Tuesday.

Lionel Messi has been ruled out of Paris St Germain's match against Montpellier as he has not fully recovered from a bone bruising injury, but manager Mauricio Pochettino hopes he returns for their midweek match against Manchester City.

Messi suffered a knock on his left knee and an MRI scan earlier this week confirmed signs of a bone contusion. He missed PSG's 2-1 victory at Metz on Wednesday.
