Paris Saint-Germain boss Unai Emery has insisted that there is no issue between himself and Hatem Ben Arfa, despite the attacker's omission from PSG's last three squads.
Ben Arfa, who moved to the French giants on a free transfer in the summer, has not been involved in PSG's last two matches against Arsenal and Caen, while he has been left out of the squad for Tuesday's league match with Dijon.
Emery has claimed that Ben Arfa's absence is purely "a sporting decision" because he has to take "the best players available" for each match.
"He is not in the group. It is simply a sporting decision. I take the best players available. There are no other issues. He is a player like any other. The players in the group are better prepared for tomorrow," Emery told reporters.
PSG currently sit third in Ligue 1 after collecting 10 points from their five matches this season.
