PSG will be without their regular right-back for the game against Arsenal at the Emirates tomorrow night as Serge Aurier has been denied access to the UK.
The reason Aurier has not been allowed into the country is in relation to an assault charge he was hit with after allegedly "insulting and hitting a police officer" outside a Paris nightclub back in May. He is reported to have elbowed the officer in the throat.

The British Authorities have refused Aurier's entry to the UK, with PSG confirming the news in an official statement which reads:
"Due to a sudden about-face by the British authorities, Serge Aurier has not been allowed to travel with Unai Emery's squad for the clash away to Arsenal. Paris Saint-Germain is stunned by this incomprehensible situation that attacks the very integrity of the UEFA Champions League."
The Ligue One Champions claim that Aurier was initially granted a visa back in October, but UK authorities opted to reverse his entry visa on 16 November, a week before the crunch clash between the two in Group A.
The Ivory Coast defender is still appealing the two-month suspended jail sentence he was given in September.
