Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have opened a disciplinary procedure against Argentine star, Lionel Messi, who risks being suspended after travelling to Saudi Arabia without the permission of the French club.
Various media in France have claimed the Argentine World Cup winning captain will be hit with a two weeks suspension while the source questioned by AFP said the period of suspension would be a few days.
Messi, who will turn 36 in June, played in PSG’s 3-1 home defeat to Lorient in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
