Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier has confirmed news relating to Lionel Messi, who was recently suspended by the club for skipping a training session without permission.

Galtier has said the 35-year-old has returned to the squad and will start against Ajaccio in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
"Leo Messi will start tomorrow," he told reporters in a pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, according Fabrizio Romano.
"He was training at a very good level, his attitude was perfect."
It was reported earlier this week that PSG had decided to reduce the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner's punishment to one game, meaning the trip to Troyes last Sunday was the only fixture he missed.
Messi has since apologised for his unauthorised trip to the Middle East, one he reportedly took to fulfil ambassadorial duties as part of Saudi Arabia's bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

Reports in recent days have claimed that the Argentine is likely to leave PSG in June when his contract ends, with Barcelona and Al Hilal tipped as potential future destinations.
