Lionel Messi - Misses out Monaco clash Messi is still dealing with the flu and has been ruled out for Sunday's match versus Monaco.

Impact Messi has been with the medical team for 48 hours now and there's no point of rushing him back here even if he improves on Sunday. The maestro though could still play with Argentina over the break and will surely be back with Parisians in April. Mauro Icardi could lead the line here with Kylian Mbappe sliding on the wing to cover for Messi's absence.
