Paris Saint-Germain forward, Lionel Messi has fallen ill with a stomach bug just over 24 hours after he won his seventh Ballon d’Or.
The 34-year-old beat Robert Lewandowski and Jorginho to the prize at an event held at the Theatre du Chatelet on Monday night.
However, Messi’s mood has taken a turn for the worse, as he is suffering from symptoms of gastroenteritis.
PSG confirmed the news on Tuesday, meaning the Argentina captain is a doubt for their Ligue 1 fixture against Nice on Wednesday night.
“Lionel Messi and Leandro Paredes did not participate in the training session today due to symptoms of gastroenteritis.
“A further check will be made tomorrow morning,” a statement on the club’s official website reads.
If Messi is unable to play against Nice, PSG will hope he recovers from illness in time for their trip to Lens on Saturday.
