Lionel Messi has returned to training as the club lift the 15-days ban placed on him last week, MySportDab reports.
The 2022 World Cup hero will now feature in PSG next Ligue 1 match after missing the 3-1 win over Troyes due to the ban.
PSG took to their social media handle to share a snap of Lionel Messi training with the team this afternoon to confirm the ban has been lifted.
The seven times Ballon d’Or winner was hit with a two-week ban after he defied the club and proceeded on an authorized trip to Saudi Arabia to honor his £25m-a-year-deal with Saudi Arabia.
The Argentine international reportedly bagged an ambassadorial deal with Saudi Arabia to promote the country’s tourism sector.
After PSG 3-1 defeat to Lorient, Messi skipped PSG training and took a trip to the Gulf State, defying PSG manager Christophe Galtier which made him to be hit with the ban.
Messi apologized to the team following the ban and revealed he did not intentionally skip the training but had planned to use a usual day-offs after matchdays for the trip before it was rescheduled.
The rescheduled day-off clashed with his planned trip and according to him he could not postpone it again because he had postponed the trip before hence he undertook the trip.
Messi was set to miss two matches for PSG following the two weeks ban but will now return to the squad starting lineup in next match since the ban has been lifted.
Despite the subdued tension between Lionel Messi and PSG now, it is obvious the two parties are not in good terms.
Lionel Messi’s two-year PSG contract will expire on June 30 with attempts to renew the deal failing woefully.
The Barcelona legend will leave PSG at the end of the season with rumors linking him to Al-Hillal, Barcelona, and Inter Miami.
