The Argentine star will not play until he is up to the right level of fitness

Lionel Messi will not play for PSG against Strasbourg, as expected. The new PSG signing has only trained twice and neither he nor coach Mauricio Pochettino thinks he’s ready. The coach did not name him in the squad for the second week of Ligue 1.

Neymar will not be there either. He is also training to get fit and match his team-mates’ fitness. Both will watch the game from the sidelines.

Messi will be presented before the game, along with the other signings. It will be at half-time, when he will get his first ovation at Parque des Princes.
