Lionel Messi two-week ban has been cut short as he will start for Paris Saint-Germain against Ajaccio on Saturday, Christophe Galtier confirmed.
The World Cup-winning forward had initially been hit with a two-week ban for an unsolicited trip to Saudi Arabia, which would have seen him miss Saturday’s Ligue 1 matchup.
But after issuing an apology in the aftermath of said punishment, PSG decided to allow Messi to return to training alone on Monday.
Galtier revealed that he would start at the Parc des Princes, as the PSG boss told reporters: “I spoke with him [Messi] on Thursday May 11, 2023.
He is motivated, determined and wants to win another trophy. Yes, he will be a starter tomorrow.”
