According to reports, Paris Saint-Germain are set to suspend Lionel Messi for taking an unsanctioned trip to Saudi Arabia when he was supposed to be training.
However, another story has emerged to explain the situation. According to some sources, such as Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Messi had two free days after the match on Sunday, but PSG decided to change when training would happen when the Argentine was already on a flight.
Thus, it was too late and impractical for the player to return for the training session as the schedule was changed when he was already on his way to Saudi Arabia.
