SERGE AURIER will miss PSG’s Champions League match tomorrow (7.45pm) against Arsenal after having his visa revoked.
The Ivory Coast international has been refused permission to travel with PSG for their Champions League match against Arsenal.
Aurier was sentenced to two months in jail for elbowing a police officer after being stopped to take a breath test.
He was fined €600 and received a ‘convertible’ sentence which could mean he serves a community service rather than jail time.
PSG have slammed the English authorities for changing their mind over Aurier’s involvement in tomorrow’s clash against Arsenal.
“Due to a sudden about-face by the British authorities, Serge Aurier has not been allowed to travel with PSG squad for the clash away to Arsenal,” PSG said in a statement.
“After an initial application on October 18, complete with all the necessary documents, the British authorities had originally granted Paris Saint-Germain’s Côte d’Ivoire international an entry visa to the UK on October 21.
“However, on November 16, his visa was finally revoked by the British Ministry of the Interior, who justified their about-face by citing Aurier’s conviction on September 30, 2016.”
