PSG defender Serge Aurier has been handed a two-month suspended jail sentence by a French court, following an incident in May earlier this year.

Aurier was arrested outside a Paris nightclub after he was alleged to have attacked a police officer, and was ordered to attend community service and pay a €1,500 fine on top of the suspended sentence.

And it is being reported that the 23-year-old will appeal the decision, but claimed he will “continue to work hard despite the decision”.

“First of all, thank you for your messages of support,” the full-back wrote on Instagram.

“As you will have already read in the press, I have appealed against the initial decision. I believe in justice and I await the chance to explain myself again on this subject.

“If there is something that I would like to say today, then it is my gratitude towards my club, its leaders and our supporters. I read the same things in the press that you do and obviously and I am conscious that you will not like it.

“I have been lucky enough to turn my passion into my job. I am going to continue to work hard at training and on the pitch, so that the headlines will soon speak of the trophies we dream of an d want to win with this team, for the club, our supporters and our families.”

Ligue 1 champions PSG released a statement following the decision saying they still “presume the player innocent”.
