Paris St Germain defender Serge Aurier has been refused permission by British authorities to travel to England for Wednesday's Champions League match against Arsenal.
The French club announced that Aurier, a 23-year-old Ivory Coast international, had been denied an entry visa because of a recent assault conviction.
In a statement, Paris St Germain said: " 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."
