Paris St-Germain defender Serge Aurier has been stopped from entering the United Kingdom by authorities before Wednesday's Champions League match at Arsenal.

The 23-year-old was given a two-month suspended prison sentence in September for assaulting a police officer.

PSG say UK authorities granted Aurier a visa in October but revoked it on 16 November, citing his conviction.

The French champions said the decision showed "a lack of respect".
