No decision yet on PSG flop Jese - Emery

Unai Emery says no decision on the future of Jese Rodriguez - or any of the Paris Saint-Germain outcasts - will be made until the end of the season.

Jese moved to the Parc des Princes last August for €25 million but has flopped spectacularly, making just two starts before being farmed out on loan to hometown club Las Palmas in January.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's game at Saint-Etienne, he told reporters: "On Jese [and all the players], we will discuss that situation at the end of the season. We must see what the best solution is for the club and the players.

"The club have started to form their opinion and mine will also come."

The title could head to the principality this weekend but Emery is adamant his men will keep fighting while it is still mathematically possible for them to catch Leonardo Jardim's table-toppers.

He added: "We still have a small possibility of the title but it is necessary to win against Saint-Etienne on Sunday.

"We have three games to go [including the cup final] and we will analyse each of them individually.

"The best preparation for the cup final is to win our last two games in Ligue 1."

"Monaco have demonstrated a lot of strength in France and Europe, as have Nice, while Marseille want to improve. The competition in Ligue 1 is good," he said.

"Competition makes things more difficult for us but it improves Ligue 1 as a whole.

"It's also good that Marcelo Bielsa arrives at Lille."

"[Layvin] Kurzawa, Krychowiak, [Javier] Pastore, [Hatem] Ben Arfa and [Jean-Kevin] Augustin are absent for medical reasons while [Angel] Di Maria and Thiago Motta are suspended," he said. 

"The others are ready and in the group. Robail and Callegari are also present."
