Without permission, Lionel Messi, who left for Saudi Arabia, got himself into trouble.
"RMC Sport" reports that the Paris Saint-Germain club has suspended Lionel Messi for two weeks.
PSG's star will not be able to train with the team for the next two weeks and will not receive his salary, adds "L'Equipe" newspaper.
On Monday, the Argentinean traveled to Saudi Arabia for commercial reasons. He did not inform anyone about this trip, so it was a surprise for both sports director Luis Campos and head coach Christopher Galtier.
The legendary forward missed one day of training.
Because of Leo Messi's trip, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi was furious, and it was his decision to impose the punishment.
PSG is currently fighting for the "Ligue 1" title, but it is likely that they will finish their title race without the striker from Argentina.
🚨 Paris Saint-Germain have decided to suspend Lionel Messi with immediate effect for two weeks, sources confirm.
