L'Équipe newspaper informed that the maximum winner of the Golden Ball (7) is still in doubt for next weekend's match, although Galtier, in a press conference, qualified as "very probable" his reappearance in the French classic. However, the coaching staff recognizes that it would be unnecessary to risk him and that his injury could become even more complicated, just before the World Cup in Qatar.

Although the '10' of the Albiceleste is essential in PSG's scheme, as evidenced against Reims, where the Parisians lacked offensive ideas, his reappearance would be scheduled for October 21, when the Ligue 1 leader visits Ajaccio. In the meantime, Galtier will have to make do to avoid being exposed in the absence of the reigning Copa America champions.

The stat that left PSG exposed without Messi:

After last weekend's draw, a statistic came to light about Messi's influence at PSG. It turns out that it was the first game so far this season that the French side failed to score a goal. Thus, it is demonstrated that Leo is the most important element. Now, the Argentine international hopes to be 100% recovered to face the rest of the European season before the start of the World Cup.
