Paris Saint-Germain has won all its matches in the French League since the beginning of the season, to top the standings with the full mark with 18 points out of 6 matches.
The Argentine star, Lionel Messi, will miss the match, due to his suffering from a bone bruise in the left knee. The 34-year-old underwent an MRI scan yesterday morning, which revealed the injury, and he will return to undergo a new examination within hours to determine the date of his return to the stadiums.
The fans were waiting for Lionel Messi to appear again, especially after the crisis that erupted between him and his coach during the last match against Lyon due to his replacement during the second half of the last meeting against Lyon.
Messi has not yet scored any goal in the Paris Saint-Germain shirt, which he moved to this summer from Barcelona after 17 seasons in his first team, during which he crowned him with all possible titles, including a historic six in 2009 and became his historical scorer.
Messi moved in the summer transfer period to Paris Saint-Germain in a free transfer deal after the failure to renew his contract with Barcelona due to the economic and structural obstacles to La Liga and the high salary block in the Catalan team.
On the other hand, Metz seeks to achieve the first victory in the French League this season, especially since he has not won any match so far, losing in 3 meetings and drawing in 3 matches, to be in the last place in the standings table with 3 points.
