Lionel Messi has been suspended from Argentina's next three matches and given a $50,000 (£41,000) by CONMEBOL for his controversial comments made during the Copa America.

The Barcelona superstar accused South America's football governing body of corruption following the red card he received in Argentina's 2-1 third-place playoff win against Chile.

Messi will miss friendly matches against Chile (September 5), Mexico (September 10) and Germany (October 10) - in addition to the one-match World Cup qualifying ban for being sent off.

Players must drive to games in their own cars and dressing rooms will not be used Clubs have been given the go-ahead to take part in friendly matches ahead of the planned resumption of the Premier League.

PGMOL referees and assistants are yet to be tested for COVID-19 so, for now, club coaching staff will referee matches. It's hoped that the country's top referees will be available to officiate in the week before the planned return to match action on June 17. If held at a stadium, players will enter via the players' entrance and walk straight onto the pitch, before warming up. Dressing rooms will not be used.
