Paris Saint-Germain superstar Lionel Messi has returned back to training . The forward tested positive for COVID-19 last week.

 However, he has now come through the period of isolation and has presented a negative PCR test, meaning he has been able to fly back to France.

Messi will now have other physical tests with the PSG doctors, to ensure he is fully fit and that the virus hasn’t left any lingering effects. .

PSG remain hopeful Messi will feature in their next game, a Ligue 1 trip to play Lyon on Sunday night. With the Argentine not been able to train for a week, that might be overly optimistic.
