Lionel Messi has been ruled out of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League group stage clash with Benfica on Tuesday due to a calf injury.

The Argentine picked up the injury during PSG’s trip to Portugal last week, where they were held to a 1-1 draw, and GOAL can confirm he will not be back for the return fixture.

Messi’s world-class strike at Estadio da Luz had put his team in front before the home side hit back through Danilo Pereira’s own goal.

With eight goals and as many assists in 13 matches across all competitions, Messi is enjoying a purple patch in his second season with the reigning French champions.

In his absence, PSG failed to produce a goal over the weekend as they were held to a goalless draw by Reims in Ligue 1.
