Lionel Messis Bodyguard Banned By Mls

Yassine Cheuko, the bodyguard to Inter Miami superstar Lionel Messi, has revealed he is no longer able to help the player as much as he did before as he has been banned by the Major Soccer League, MLS.

Cheuko, who is a former Navy SEAL, has been working with Messi since he completed a move to the US in 2023.

At the time, it was decided that the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner needed personal security in America.

Cheuko has made regular appearances during MLS games and has severally chased down the pitch-invading fans, who were desperate to get close to their sporting idol. Many have been tackled before making it that far.

MLS has, however, taken to limiting Cheuko's involvement, as he is now restricted to guarding Messi behind the scenes and is forbidden from stepping foot on the pitch.
