Something is rotten and suspicious in the glamourous ‘state’ of Paris Saint-Germain. Only two days after Lionel Messi was subbed 15 minutes before the final whistle against Lyon to ”prevent any injuries”, as PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino stated – which caused the player’s evident frustration – the club has announced Messi will miss the upcoming tie against Metz. The reason? He is, apparently, injured?!Marco Asensio could give Carlo Ancelotti his first real problem upon Real Madrid returnHow is that even possible, nobody knows, yet PSG have no dilemma. The tiny Argentine underwent an MRI scan, which ‘confirmed bruising to the bone on his left knee’. (3.50) FIORENTINA (3.45) INTER (2.10)Ok, but let’s go back to Sunday night and read what Pochettino said in his postmatch interview.”We made the decision to take Messi off because of a possible future injury,” he stated.”We have important matches coming up, and we have to protect him.” End of the quote. But obviously, just the beginning of some other things in PSG.Someone should warn Poch he’s on a notice period after the mess with MessiWhatever is going on, the French league leaders confirmed on Tuesday that the forward would undergo a follow-up examination in 48 hours. Mauricio Pochettino’s side will play against Montpellier at home in the league on Saturday before hosting Manchester City in the Champions League next Tuesday.##NAJAVA_MECA_5838119##
