Paris Saint-Germain suspended Lionel Messi for two weeks without pay for an unauthorized trip to Saudi Arabia, French media confirmed Tuesday.
The L’Equipe newspaper reported that the Argentine superstar would not be able to play or train, and will not be paid while suspended.
Messi will miss the Ligue 1 match against Troyes on May 7 and one against Ajaccio on May 13.
The 35-year-old netted 20 goals and assisted 19 in 37 matches this season.
Messi guided Argentina to the 2022 World Cup title by defeating 2018 champions France 4-2 on penalties in Qatar.
