Messi's absence is bad news for PSG fans, because Messi is an important player on the front lines of PSG and without him it seems that PSG will have a little trouble in the match later.
I think that from the news, Messi will probably not be absence, he can still probably play in PSG when against Bayern in the UCL which will be held several days later. He got injured but it seems that it is not a big injury and hopefully he can really be okay and fit very soon.
https://www.thescore.com/s/24489605But indeed, actually, PSG still has Mbappe that is really great as a player for the attacking line. But if PSG misses Messi in this match, it will seem quite different without Messi moreover because he is still the star at this time.
Yeah, galtier has been confirming it.

As far as i know that if messi didn't get serious injury. Messi's facing muscle fatigue. messi needs to take a rest to bring back his muscle again.
The match against monaco is not so important for PSG. that's why messi wonn't play in that match.
their performance was really bad though, even if Messi did not play, he won't change that much in a match, and keep in mind that it's just Monaco, Bayern are in a different realm, i would be really surprised if PSG can survive against Bayern's attack, a draw won't be enough in the 1st leg, PSG need to win, and to be honest, i don't see that happening.
This super interesting match in the Champions League with Bayern and PSG, I have no idea who can win, on the one hand PSG is bad, I don't know if they will have their stars, and Bayern is eager to reach a good place in the UCL, since they have not been protagonists for a long time, this is getting very interesting, also both PSG and Bayern are in danger in their leagues, because due to the bad moment that these teams have, they are about to be reached by the other teams that they are in the first places, obviously these teams want to be the first in their leagues and to be the champions of the UCL.
The problem with Manchester City is the midfield, there is no perfect replacement for Kevin de bruyne and this is always a problem whenever he does not feature for Manchester City because it is only Kevin that connects Haaland effectively. So if Kevin is not in the pitch there will not be correct linkage between the midfield and attack, that is the only problem of Manchester City. So I was not surprised to see them draw with Leipzig. I believe effectively that in the returning match Manchester City will come back very well and qualify for the next round
This simply calls for the signature of James Madison from Leicester City, I'm nkt about to say that Kelvin has been bad but the game before World Cup against Brentford, did he put up a good show ? No, did he during the world cup no too, he had his decision makings wrong during the world cup. He was not even injured but I'll, so what happens if he is Injured for six weeks ? Manchester City would crumble ? I wonder why sign Jack Grealish for so much.
I'm pleased with Leicester City because that was my prediction secretly. They have done well regardless, they remain the only Premier League side not to have lost in this round.
I have no doubt that City will qualify, they are on a great run, I also see that Haaland will be with a great attitude, Pep Guardiola will not miss this opportunity, they cannot lose, City last season were not very lucky, this time they have all to vindicate themselves and the truth is I don't think they disappoint their fans.
Now what you say about Kevin de Bruyne I fully agree, it is difficult because the midfield is always important, especially to set up the attack, Haaland is the main objective, he is the one who has to score the goals, the android has to do it and shine.
