(CNN Spanish) -
The name of Lionel Messi did not appear among those called up by PSG for this Wednesday's game against RB Leipzig in Germany, for the fourth date of the group stage of the Champions League.
The Argentine drags "discomfort in the hamstrings on the left side and pain in the knee after a contusion," according to the official website of the Parisian team.
The annoyance forced him to be replaced on Friday, at halftime of the league clash between PSG and Lille.
