PSG forward Lionel Messi has spoken out on his Covid recovery after it was announced that he had tested negative for the virus and was back in Paris.

The Argentinian was said to have contracted the virus while on holiday in Argentina in December over the festive period.

Messi who has not played any game for his club since December 22 due to Covid, has admitted that the recovery from the illness took longer than he expected.

He also revealed that he has begun training in recent days aiming towards full fitness to be able to help the squad.

“Good afternoon! As you know I had COVID and I wanted to thank you for all the messages I received and tell you that it took me longer than I thought to be well but I’m almost recovered and I’m really looking forward to getting back on the field,” Messi wrote in an Instagram post.

“I’ve been training these days to get 100%, very nice challenges are coming this year and hopefully very soon we can see each other again. Thanks!!!”
