PSG shows mercy to Lionel Messi

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Lionel Messi has made a swift return to training after Paris Saint-Germain appeared to have reversed their decision to suspend the 2022 World Cup winner.

Messi was slapped with a 2-week game suspension without pay by the club last week after the Argentine playmaker embarked on an unapproved trip to Saudi Arabia.
