After agreeing to shorten Lionel Messi's initial two-week punishment, Paris Saint-Germain will welcome him back to practice on Tuesday.
The French champions' crisis has worsened recently as a result of fan demonstrations outside Neymar's house and Parc des Princes against the club's QSI owners.
PSG canceled a day off for the first team after a humiliating 3-1 loss at home to Lorient. However, because of a deal with the Saudi Arabian tourist board, Messi had already made travel arrangements there.
Messi was given a two-week suspension by PSG for failing to show up for practice, which prevented him from playing in either this weekend's match against Ajaccio or PSG's victory against Troyes on Sunday.
The Argentinean apologized publicly last week, saying he was unable to reschedule his trip to the Middle East because he had already done so twice before.
"I mistakenly believed that we would have our customary day off following the game. I couldn't cancel this vacation because I had already planned it. In a video posted to Instagram, Messi stated, "I had already canceled it.
I apologize to my teammates and I'm awaiting the club's plans for me.
According to a new report from ESPN, PSG has chosen to lift Messi's banishment from the first squad, and he will resume training as a result of this public act of humility.
With four games remaining, PSG has a six-point lead over Marseille in Ligue 1 after defeating Troyes, while Lens overtook Marseille in second place with an important victory.
90 minutes comprehend Messi's current deal with PSG will expire this summer, and PSG has conceded that he will leave the team for free.
They had hoped to come to an agreement on a new contract, but it has become clear recently that Messi would go due to interest from his old team Barcelona and Saudi Pro League teams.
According to sources who spoke to 90min, Messi is set on coming back to Barça this summer, and the next Spanish champions are working hard to make sure that such a trade is financially feasible.
