Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier has revealed that Lionel Messi will return to the club in early January following his exertions at the 2022 World Cup.
Messi played a starring role in Argentina's success at the recent international competition, scoring seven goals and registering three assists in seven appearances.
The 35-year-old scored twice in the final against France, while he also found the back of the net in the shootout, with Argentina lifting the trophy after overcoming the European side on penalties.
Players involved in the final of the competition have started to filter back to their clubs, but Galtier has revealed that Messi will be missing for the team's next two matches.
PSG will be back in Ligue 1 action against Strasbourg on December 28 before taking on Lens on January 1, but the Argentine will not be involved in either contest
