Paris Saint-Germain have made a big decision on Lionel Messi ahead of their Coupe de France game on Monday night.

The 35-year-old returned to duty for the Ligue 1 champions about two weeks ago following his 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph with Argentina.
Messi starred in their 2-0 league win over Angers on 11 January, but struggled to make an impact as PSG suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat to Rennes last week Sunday.
Manager Christophe Galtier has now decided to not call upon the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner for their French cup encounter against Pays de Cassel, a sixth division side, on Monday night.
Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, however, were named in PSG's squad.
