- That’s why neither Messi nor De Jong are travelling to Ukraine.
“We have decided not to take Messi and De Jong because our situation in the Champions League is quite comfortable and they need rest. It is time to rest,” Ronald Koeman has just said at the press conference, explaining the duo’s absence from the travelling squad to face Dynamo Kyiv on Tuesday.
