Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has made it clear he does not have any influence on how Serge Aurier will be punished by the club following his recent outburst on social media platform Periscope.
Aurier made the headlines for all the wrong reasons when he insulted Blanc and several of his team-mates in a video that was streamed online and was consequently dropped from the squad for the 2-1 Champions League win over Chelsea on Tuesday.
"The club will take a decision on Aurier's punishment. That is not the coach's job," Blanc said at a news conference on Friday.
"I will have a discussion with him. We met without a camera, face to face. The club will take a decision and he will respect that.
"And then I can say whether we need Serge from here until the end of the season. Time will always have its effect."
The right-back's contract at the Parc des Princes runs until June 2019.
