Messi is infected with the virus! On the evening of January 2, Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain officially confirmed that Messi, who was in Rosario, Argentina, became one of the four "strokes" in Paris. Fans all over the world wish Messi: I hope the king of the plum ball is okay. Argentina's Tyc Sports pointed out that Messi's family of 5 will be isolated in their hometown rosario and are expected to return to play on January 15.
Two days before Christmas, Messi, along with his wife Antonella and three sons, flew back from France to Rosario, Argentina. This Christmas, Messi had a great time:
Invite friends and family and the "Los Palmeras" to a carnival party; take the family to sunbathe... Messi, who has worked hard for a year, enjoy a rare leisure time.
According to the plan, Messi will fly back to Paris from Rosario on the afternoon of January 1 to officially start his football career in 2022.
The Paredes family
On January 1, Rosario's local media took a photo: Messi's Paris teammate Paredes arrived in Rosario with his family, preparing to fly back to Paris from Rosario with Messi and Di Maria. However, Paredes and Di Maria boarded the plane in time, but Messi boarded the plane and tested positive for COVID-19 and could not travel to France.
Messi will be quarantined with his family at Rosario's home until it turns dark before returning to Paris. A reporter from football website GLOBAL pointed out that Messi will most likely not return to the club until January 20. This means that the King of May will miss two Ligue 1 and one French Cup in Paris.
Argentina's Tyc Sport believes Messi can make a comeback on January 15. This means that Messi will only miss two games of Paris Saint-Germain: the French Cup against Vannes and the 20th round of Ligue 1 against Lyon. Either way, Messi will miss at least two games for Paris Saint-Germain.
Messi and his wife
On January 27, the World Preliminary Round in South America was rekindled. Messi's situation is more awkward: if he returns to Paris on January 20, he will soon fly back to Argentina to prepare for the World Preliminary Round. The good news is that Argentina have locked up qualification for the 2022 World Cup and Messi can completely take a break. With Messi's love for Argentina, he will most likely fly back to Argentina and compete with the team in the World Preliminary Tournament. Tyc Sport also said that Messi will be selected for the national team.
