Accepted sanction! The Argentine did not attend Camp des Loges after being sanctioned by PSG due to his trip to Saudi Arabia.
Lionel Messi accepted the sanction imposed by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and did not show up for training on Wednesday, May 3 at the team's Camp des Loges training center.
The Parisian squad decided to suspend the Argentine football player for an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia.
The Rosario player traveled to the Middle East with his family after the defeat on Sunday against Lorient in Ligue 1 (3-1). The world champion in Qatar 2022 missed PSG's training on Monday.
The 'Pulga' arrived in Saudi Arabia as part of a contract with the Tourism Office of that country, which often promotes it on its social networks.
The two-week sanction against Messi, who has scored 15 goals this season in Ligue 1, includes not attending group training, not playing matches, and not receiving his salary corresponding to the first half of May.
Although, as part of the suspension, the Argentine will miss PSG's next two matches, Sunday against Troyes and against AC Ajaccio on May 13, it is unknown if he will ever play again for the Parisian club as it has been decided that he will not renew his contract.
