One of the glamour ties of the Champions League group stage has been given a huge boost with Lionel Messi now looking set to play for PSG against Manchester City.
The Argentine superstar had been an injury doubt for his new side’s Champions League clash with Pep Guardiola’s men on Wednesday.

He suffered a knee problem during PSG’s Ligue 1 victory over Lyon last week and there were fears that he would miss out on the reunion with Guardiola.
But fresh images of the six-time Ballon d’Or winner have emerged and suggest an altogether more optimistic outlook.
Messi was seen laughing with Neymar and joining in with all the drills on the training pitch for Mauricio Pochettino’s men.
The 34-year-old underwent a scan on his knee but the results were positive and injury fears allayed.
