Lionel Messi has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, according to Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). The Argentine superstar sustained the injury during training last week and underwent surgery on Friday.
Messi, who is currently in the midst of his fifth season with PSG, had been playing at a high level this season, scoring six goals and assisting eight more. His absence from the team will undoubtedly be felt by the French club as they look to secure a top-four finish in Ligue 1 and compete for the Champions League title.
In a statement released by PSG, manager Mauricio Pochettino expressed disappointment over the news but praised Messi's professionalism and commitment to the team. "We're very disappointed that Lionel will not be able to continue our journey together,Chinese Super League Stand" said Pochettino. "But we know he'll recover quickly and return stronger than ever."
Despite the setback, PSG have also announced that they will continue to support Messi throughout his recovery process. They have promised to provide him with all the necessary medical care and rehabilitation needed to help him get back to full fitness.
The injury update comes as a blow for Messi and PSG, but it's clear that the club will do everything in their power to ensure that he recovers fully and returns to action as soon as possible. With Messi's experience and talent, he remains one of the most talented players in world football, and his absence from the pitch will certainly be felt by everyone involved.
