Galtier fulfills a request to Messi and shows that he is his favorite over Mbappé
The PSG coach decided not to use Leo due to an alleged tendon inflammation.
The fans of the national team Argentina got a big scare when they heard the news that Lionel Messi was not included in PSG's call to visit Lorient this Sunday, November 6, as part of matchday 14 of Ligue 1. The first reports claimed that La Pulga suffered from an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, but there is nothing to worry about.
Despite initial alarm, Christophe Galiter - coach of Paris Saint- Germain- by ensuring that he will be available for training this week. It should be remembered that the possibility of Messi asking not to play the last games of the season before the 2022 Qatar World Cup had been considered, and this would have been the most 'correct' they found to do so.

Kylian Mbappé, on the other hand, did play despite the risk of fatigue that he could run: he has not rested for 20 games counting PSG and the French National Team. However, Galtier anticipated that he hopes to be able to count on Leo for the last pre-Qatar match.
We will have to wait for the time to come and we'll see how Messi's alleged tendon inflammation develops. For now, rest for him and everything according to what was planned for the Argentine, ahead of the Qatar World Cup.
What did Galtier say about the situation of footballers before the World Cup?
The technical director first wanted to make it clear that no technical command of any team contacted him to request that he use less of his team. Having made this clarification, he stated: 'The best way to prepare for a good World Cup is to play. But obviously I listen and make decisions based on what the players tell me about their fitness and level of fatigue.'
