Lionel Messi suspended for two weeks by PSG

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the French have decided to suspend Lionel Messi for two weeks, with immediate effect.

The French star went to Saudi Arabia after PSG’s defeat by Lorient without the agreement of the club’s management.

The managers considered Messi’s gesture as a “serious fault” and did not show understanding, and the Argentine will miss the games with Troyes and Ajaccio, writes Marca.

If the ban remains in place, Leo will return to action against Auxerre, scheduled for May 21.

According to a post by Riyadh’s tourism minister, as part of a project aimed at Saudi Arabia’s bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, Messi participated in tourism promotion activities.
