Messi still missing for PSG but could face Man City in Champions League as Argentine starts running again

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner will not line up for Mauricio Pochettino's side against Montpellier, but may make European competition

Lionel Messi has been ruled out of Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 clash with Montpellier on Saturday, but the Argentine forward could figure in a Champions League meeting with Manchester City as he is running again.

The six-time Ballon d'Or winner picked up a knee injury during an outing against Lyon, forcing him to undergo an MRI scan and sit out training.

He played no part in a dramatic 2-1 win over Metz in midweek, but has seen a long spell on the sidelines ruled out and further assessment of his fitness will be made on Sunday.
