Unai Emery insists there is no issue between himself and Hatem Ben Arfa despite leaving the midfielder out of the Paris Saint-Germain squad for Tuesday's Ligue 1 match against Dijon.
Ben Arfa was omitted from PSG's 18-man squad for last week's Champions League match against Arsenal, Emery calling on him to "work hard and have the right mentality".
The former Nice playmaker sat out Friday's 6-0 thrashing of Caen and will not feature at the Parc des Princes this week either, but the PSG boss denied he has any problem with the player.
"He is not in the group. It is simply a sporting decision. I take the best players available," Emery said at a media conference on Monday.
"There are no other issues. He is a player like any other. The players in the group are better prepared for tomorrow."
