PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino has left out both Lionel Messi and Neymar for Ligue 1 clash with Brest on Friday. Messi could make his PSG debut in next weekend's game away at Reims before the September international break.

Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain debut will have to wait after coach Mauricio Pochettino left both the former Barcelona man and Neymar out of his squad for Friday's Ligue 1 game away at Brest. Messi could make his PSG debut in next weekend's game away at Reims before the September international break, when he is likely to be involved as Argentina play a triple-header of World Cup qualifiers away to Venezuela and Brazil and at home to Bolivia.
