The Argentine forward is back in Paris from his home country after testing negative but has not been cleared to play. "Lionel Messi will continue his post-COVID individual protocol in the coming days," PSG said in a statement. Messi, 34, was one of several players to return positive results during the Ligue 1 break. PSG said that Angel Di Maria, Julian Draxler, Danilo Pereira, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Layvin Kurzawa were still isolating after testing positive. "It's always hard to pick the right team, COVID or no COVID," PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino told a news conference on Saturday.
