Paris: Paris Saint-Germain will be without Serge Aurier for this week's Champions League game against Chelsea after the defender was suspended until further notice for insulting coach Laurent Blanc and some of his teammates in a video posted on a social network.
Serge Aurier appeared in a controversial video circulated on social media, in which he branded his coach Laurent Blanc as gay and criticised his teammates such as Angel Di Maria or Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
In the video surfaced on Sunday, whose authenticity is yet to be confirmed, Aurier appears with a friend to answer the fans' questions, reports Efe.
Aurier branded Blanc as "une fiotte" which is a pejorative term for a homosexual, and claimed that his coach is flattering Ibrahimovic in attempts to please him by all means.
When asked about Di Maria, Aurier said that he is just a "puppet".
So far, PSG has not released any official statement regarding the incident, while the club awaits its upcoming Champions League clash against English club Chelsea at the Parc des Princes.
