Lionel Messi and Marco Verratti have both returned to PSG training sessions today, according to RMC Sport, as they recuperate from knee injuries ahead of the midweek Champions League match against Manchester City.

After both players were absent for Saturday's 2-0 win over Montpellier, manager Mauricio Pochettino stated in his Friday news conference that he hoped to have his colleague back for the European campaign's second encounter.

Messi suffered bone bruising on his left knee after a collision in the 2-1 win against Lyon, while the Italian had a knee ailment while on international duty at the start of the month.

The outcome of tomorrow's training session will determine whether or not his knee discomfort returns after a full day of preparation.
