JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) player, Lionel Messi, was reportedly sanctioned by the club after being absent from training. He was sentenced to two weeks for being caught going to Saudi Arabia without permission.
Several media outlets in France say Messi will not appear for PSG in the next two weeks. However, there are also those who say the Argentine only gets a few days of sanctions.
As previously known, PSG players were actually promised a two-day holiday on May 1-2 if they won against Lorient. However, Les Parisiens actually lost 1-3 to Lorient at home on Sunday (30/4/2023) so the holiday was canceled.
This defeat made coach Christophe Galtier ask his players to immediately train the next day (1/5/2023).
Messi actually asked PSG for permission to go to Saudi Arabia, but his request was rejected. The 35-year-old Argentine striker went to the oil-rich country for being Saudi Arabia's tourism ambassador.
This penalty leaves Messi absent from the two PSG matches against Troyes (8/5/2023) and Ajaccio (14/5/2023).
Messi himself has scored 31 goals and provided 34 assists in 71 games in all competitions for PSG and helped the club win the French Ligue 1 trophy last season, as reported by Antara.
