"Lionel Messi, following the knock received on his left knee,
has undergone an MRI this morning which confirms the signs of
bone contusion, a new assessment will be made in 48 hours," PSG
said in a statement.
The Argentine forward, who joined the French club from Barcelona
on a two-year contract during the close season, was replaced
with 14 minutes left in PSG's 2-1 home victory over Olympique
Lyonnais on Sunday.
"We saw that during the game he was checking his knee and made
some gestures," coach Mauricio Pochettino told a news
conference.
PSG lead the Ligue 1 standings with a maximum 18 points.
Messi played half an hour against Stade de Reims last month
before starting the last two games, against Club Brugge in the
Champions League and at home to Lyon.
He has yet to score for PSG but has hit the woodwork twice.
