Lionel Messi has released a video on his Instagram account to apologise to Paris Saint-Germain and his teammates for missing training to travel to Saudi Arabia.
Sources told ESPN on Tuesday that Messi was given a two-week suspension without pay after missing Monday's training session to fly to Saudi. Sources said that PSG boss Christophe Galtier told his team they would be given Monday and Tuesday off if they beat Lorient on Sunday, but defeat would result in the team being called in for training on Monday. PSG lost the match 3-1.
