PARIS (AP) — Lionel Messi will miss Paris Saint-Germain's match at Leipzig in the Champions League because of hamstring and knee pain, the club said Tuesday.
Messi was replaced at halftime of PSG's 2-1 victory over Lille in the French league on Friday with coach Mauricio Pochettino describing the substitution as a “precaution.”
PSG leads its Champions League group and plays last-place Leipzig on Wednesday.
“Leo Messi has discomfort in his left hamstring and pain in his knee following a contusion,” the club said.
