Lionel Messi - Probable for Reims match Messi (COVID-19) has trained well all week and will be available for Sunday's match versus Reims, according to coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact "Things have gone very well throughout the week. He trained well, he feels good, and we are very happy to have him back with us. But there was a period of inactivity, and we will need to be vigilant because of that", said Pochettino. The playmaker seems to be ready for a start here but won't likely finish the full 90. With Kylian Mbappe also struggling with a problem the two could just split 90 minutes with Messi likelier to start and go for about 60 minutes and Mbappe coming in for the remainder of the match.

Kylian Mbappe - Faces late fitness test Sunday Mbappe (groin) has trained Saturday but will be facing a late fitness test ahead of Sunday's match versus Reims, according to coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Impact Mbappe missed four consecutive practices heading into Saturday but his participation in both last sessions has been a very positive sign. Pochettino expressed his satisfaction with the way the injury has evolved over the week and the striker seems bound to make the bench at least. That being said though, with Lionel Messi returning Parisians may choose to be cautious with their young stud and keep him limited especially given the break is just around the corner. Mauro Icardi could lead the line again.

Lionel Messi will likely return from his own issue but Mauro Icardi could keep starting if Mbappe isn't allowed to start after all at the end. Final decision for his status will be made Saturday.
