His sidelining eventually lasted six days. He was suspended on Tuesday by PSG after an unauthorized promotional trip to Saudi Arabia, for which the "Pulga" apologized in a short video posted on Instagram.

"I apologise to my team-mates and I await the club's decision. I apologize to my partners and the club," he said in Spanish.

Messi missed the victory in Troyes (3-1), Sunday, and could therefore return for the match of the 35th day of the Championship against Ajaccio, Saturday (21:00) at the Parc des Princes.


He is on the verge of a second title of champion of France, Paris counting six points ahead of Lens (2nd) four days from the end of the season.

Asked after Troyes-PSG, coach Christophe Galtier had not commented on the Messi affair. "I'm giving you the same answer as before the game: it's an internal matter, I have no comment to make about Leo," he said.

At the end of his contract with Paris, Messi (35) is closer to a departure than an extension, according to concordant sources.
