In early summer, soccer superstar Lionel Messi had the misfortune to miss Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)'s preparatory training due to an official visit to Saudi Arabia, a move that drew harsh disciplinary action from the club: a suspension of two weeks from playing, training, and salary, and he missed the clash with Troyes as a result. However, the veteran in his late thirties promptly apologized via video and the club showed leniency by lifting the ban early. Now, Messi is set to return to action in the early hours of this Sunday morning (14th) in the Ligue 1 home match against Ajoseo.
In his pre-match press conference, PSG coach Gadea revealed that Messi has been released from his ban and resumed training: I won't comment on the previous punishment, but all in all, I'm happy to have Messi back. He has been training with the team for a week, we communicated and I found him very calm, combative and determined to win the league. So expect Messi to start this game.
