Able to train Messi (calf) participated in Friday's training session, according to manager Christophe Galtier ahead of Sunday's match against Marseille.

Impact Messi has missed a couple of games in the last week in order to rest a calf injury and now has a couple of days to train before the biggest club match in France.

To be rested against Reims Messi will be rested for Saturday's trip to Reims, according to manager Christophe Galtier.

Impact Messi should be fine for Tuesday's UCL match against Benfica but a little rest wouldn't hurt since he has yet to skip a match this season. In his absence, Carlos Soler has been named as a potential starter while Kylian Mbappe and Neymar will take on even more attacking influence during Messi's absence. So far, Messi has scored seven times and logged eight assists between the league and UCL, scoring in four straight games before his planned break over the weekend.
