Paris Saint-Germain’s preparations for their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash with Bayern Munich have taken a hit, with Lionel Messi now uncertain for the first leg due to a hamstring injury.

The Argentine superstar reportedly suffered the injury during PSG’s Coupe de France defeat to Marseille on Wednesday. Though Messi completed the match, he reportedly experienced discomfort the following day, prompting medical evaluation.

According to French outlet L’Équipe, Messi is set to miss PSG’s upcoming Ligue 1 fixture against Monaco this weekend and is in a race against time to be fit for the first leg against Bayern Munich on February 14 at the Parc des Princes.

PSG is already sweating over the fitness of Kylian Mbappé, who is recovering from a thigh injury and remains a major doubt for the high-stakes Champions League tie.

With two of their biggest stars now questionable, PSG faces a growing injury crisis as they prepare to take on a formidable Bayern Munich side that is closely monitoring the situation.
