Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has suspended Argentine football superstar Lionel Messi for two weeks after he made an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia. According to reports, Messi skipped a training session to visit the Middle Eastern country, where he is under contract with the Saudi Arabia tourist board. He had previously canceled two trips to Saudi Arabia due to PSG commitments.
Messi's unauthorized absence from Monday's training session has led to his suspension from the team for two weeks. This marks the first time that the football legend has ever been sanctioned by a club in this manner.
PSG's decision to suspend Messi came after he failed to convince head coach Christophe Galtier to change the team's schedule. PSG had canceled the first team's day off following their disappointing 3-1 loss to Lorient on Sunday.
As a result of his suspension, Messi will miss two upcoming games - PSG's matches against Troyes on Sunday and Ajaccio the following Saturday. However, the team still holds a comfortable five-point lead over rivals Marseille at the top of Ligue 1 with just five games left to play.
Messi's suspension is a significant development for PSG and its fans, as he has been a crucial player for the team this season. His absence will likely have an impact on PSG's performance in the upcoming matches, especially as they aim to secure the Ligue 1 title.
As this story develops, it remains to be seen how PSG will fare without their star player, and how Messi's suspension will impact his future with the team.
