Lionel Messi returns to full Paris Saint-Germain training

Lionel Messi returns to full Paris Saint-Germain training after missing clashes with Lyon and Brest due to COVID-19.

Lionel Messi has returned to full training with his Paris Saint-Germain teammates after recovering from COVID-19.

The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner tested negative for the virus a couple of weeks ago but had still been restricted to individual recovery training following his infection.

Messi missed his side's Ligue 1 clashes with Lyon and Brest due to COVID-19, but the 34-year-old has now been shown alongside his teammates with the ball at his feet in training.

As a result, Mauricio Pochettino will hope to have Messi available for Sunday's Ligue 1 clash with Reims, with the ex-Barcelona man aiming to build on a paltry tally of one goal from 11 league games in the 2021-22 season.

However, Georginio Wijnaldum left Saturday's game at half time due to a sprained ankle, which is set to rule the Dutchman out for at least three weeks.

Messi was named in the FIFA FIFPRO Men's World 11 for the 15th year running earlier this week but came second in the vote for the Best FIFA Men's Player behind Robert Lewandowski.
