Lionel Messi - Expected to train Thursday Messi (Achilles) is expected to return to training during Thursday's session, according to L'Equipe.

Impact Messi missed Sunday's 2-1 win over Lorient due to an inflamed Achilles tendon and shouldn't be out for very long. With the World Cup on the horizon, it's likely Messi won't be a full participant in Sunday's match against Auxerre either, though it's worth waiting a little longer for confirmation on that.

Kylian Mbappe - Dealing with muscle fatigue Mbappe is dealing with muscle fatigue but it's not expected to be a serious problem and he should be available for Sunday's match versus Auxerre, L'Equipe reports.

Impact Mbappe was replaced in the 85th minute of the game versus Lorient on Sunday and went straight to the locker room accompanied by a team's doctor. There wasn't a specific injury though but just a general muscular fatigue due to the heavy schedule of late. Typically he could be considered as a bench option in cases like this but given he'll have a full week of rest before the next game the scoring leader in France should be leading the line again in the final game before the World Cup.
