Lionel Messi has returned to training with Paris Saint-Germain after his suspension over an unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia. The Ligue 1 club tweeted a photograph of the World Cup winner in training kit with the message: “Leo Messi back in training this Monday morning.”
Messi, an ambassador for the Saudi Tourism Authority, was pictured in Riyadh last Monday, the day after his side had endured a surprise defeat by Lorient. He later said in an Instagram video that he had to make the trip for contractual reasons, having previously cancelled it, and had assumed he had a day off.
