LIONEL Messi has been ruled out of Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 game away to Monaco tomorrow after coming down with the flu.

The Argentine was booed by his own supporters in the 3-0 win over Nantes last weekend following PSG’s Champions League elimination by Real Madrid.

Angel Di Maria is also sidelined by a hamstring problem while Sergio Ramos and Ander Herrera are expected to return after the international break.

Messi was recalled yesterday by Argentina for World Cup qualifiers against Venezuela and Ecuador later this month. He missed the previous two qualifiers in January after contracting Covid-19. – AFP, March 19, 2022.
