Lionel Messi has apologised after making an alleged unauthorised trip to Saudi Arabia that saw him suspended by Paris St Germain for two weeks.

Messi is said to have travelled after PSG's home defeat by Lorient on Sunday without the club's permission.

The 35-year-old, who has a role as a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia, is expected to miss matches against Troyes on Sunday and AC Ajaccio on May 13.
