Lionel Messi has been excluded from Paris Saint-Germain’s Ligue 1 clash against Troyes this weekend despite the superstar issuing an apology for his unsanctioned trip to Saudi Arabia.
Messi’s PSG team-mates were left ‘shocked’ after he took an unapproved trip to the Middle-East on Monday. The Argentine superstar is contractually obliged to visit the Gulf State as part of his role as tourism ambassador to the nation, but he did not inform anyone at PSG of his trip.
That left many team-mates bemused as to why the 35-year-old was not among them when they arrived at training on Monday. It comes with the star being expected to leave PSG when his contract expires at the end of the current season, as reported by Mirror Football . The club are no longer prioritising his contract renewal.
