The Argentine star Lionel Messi returned this Monday to training at Paris Saint-Germain, leader of Ligue 1 in France, which is interpreted as a lifting of the two-week sanction imposed for his unconsulted trip to Saudi Arabia, last Monday. .
The club’s official channels on social networks showed the captain of the Argentine national team in action at the Camp des Loges.
Although without officially communicating it, the PSG board imposed a two-week sanction on the number 30 for missing training last Monday for his lightning trip to the Middle East to fulfill commercial obligations.
The measure prevented the Argentine from playing games and even entering the club’s facilities, something that -in fact- was modified with his reincorporation on Monday.
Faced with all the commotion generated by the punishment, which even led to a demonstration by fans with insults towards the Argentine and other stars of the team such as the Brazilian Neymar, Messi offered his apologies through a video that he published last Friday on his Twitter account. Instagram.
In the release, Leo explained that, at the time of deciding his flight to Saudi Arabia, the Parisian squad had the days of Monday and Tuesday of last week free, which finally changed due to the unexpected defeat against Lorient, at home, in the previous days.
The Argentine was notified of the practice last Monday when he was already traveling, for which the PSG leadership decided to sanction him for his absence.
DT Christophe Galtier disassociated himself from the situation, did not call him up for yesterday’s match against Troyes, as a visitor, and avoided speculation about Messi’s disposition once the measure was completed.
