PSG announced on Tuesday that the Argentine forward underwent an MRI scan which confirmed the signs of bone contusion and he missed the win over Metz.
The club have now confirmed that Messi has started running again and a further update is expected on Sunday ahead of their Champions League showdown with Manchester City 48 hours later.
