After the World Cup, celebration and rest, return to current affairs for Lionel Messi. The 35-year-old seven-time Ballon d’Or returned to PSG training on Wednesday. He had left his hometown of Rosario on Monday evening with his family and had landed at Le Bourget airport, north of Paris, on Tuesday.
After grandiose festivities following his world title with the Albiceleste, the Argentinian striker took advantage of a few days off with his family before joining his Parisian teammates.
He was welcomed on the training grounds located in St-Germain-en-Laye (Yvelines) by a guard of honor of the players present, before being offered a small trophy from the hands of PSG (Site notre bureau spécialisé) adviser, Luis Campos , only images posted by the club on your Twitter account.
Verse and return against Angers
Messi is the latest PSG globalist to return to the training grounds. Kylian Mbappé, his opponent in the World Cup final (3-3 aet, 4 tab to 2), as well as Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, 4th in the World Cup, had made their comebacks on December 21, just 3 days after the end of the tournament.
The two players thus took part in the two matches of PSG in L1 during the holidays (victory against Strasbourg 2-1, defeat at Lens 3-1) before being granted ten days of rest.
The Parisians must now follow up with a meeting in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France in Châteauroux on Friday, probably without Messi, who could return to competition when they receive Angers in L1 (18th day) next Wednesday.
