Lionel Messi boycotted Barcelona’s first pre-season training session on Monday, club sources have confirmed toAfter skipping coronavirus tests on Sunday, Messi was absent again from the club’s Ciutat

Esportiva training ground, where Ronald Koeman held a session at 5:30pm, his first since being appointed Barca coach.

The 33-year-old and his lawyers believe that participating in Barcelona’s pre-season programme would contradict their argument that Messi no longer belongs to the club. But Barcelona maintain that clause had to be activated by June 10 and the deadline has not been extended, despite the season being prolonged due to the pandemic, with the men’s Champions League final played on August 23.

The club’s captain and greatest ever player, who has scored 634 goals for them and won 34 titles, now risks being punished either by a fine or, if his absence continues, a reduction in salary.
