After the celebrations ended with the signing of Argentine star Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain fans are wondering when the former Barcelona player will debut.
Messi said during media interviews, after his official presentation today, Wednesday, that he will join Paris Saint-Germain training tomorrow, Thursday.
He explained that he does not yet know the date of his participation in the matches, and indicated that he needs a special time to prepare for the new season because he is on vacation that lasted about a month, since he won the Copa America title with Argentina last month.
The first appearance of Messi will be at the Parc des Princes, the stronghold of Paris Saint-Germain, next Saturday, before the match against Strasbourg, where new deals will be presented to the Parisian club, which previously contracted this summer with Moroccan Ashraf Hakimi, Spanish Sergio Ramos, Dutchman Giorgio Wijnaldum and Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma.
Messi will not participate in the Strasbourg match, and given the team’s match program and the period that the player will need before reaching physical readiness, it may be the first match for the Argentine star when he travels to Saint-Germain to face Reims on August 29, before the international stop early next month. for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
