Paris St Germain defender Serge Aurier has been given a two-month prison sentence for assaulting a police officer.

The incident occurred on May 30 outside a Paris nightclub when the 23-year-old was originally arrested and placed in police custody.

Aurier has also been handed a fine of 600 euros (£521) and has been ordered to pay 1,500 euros (£1,303) in court costs.

The Ivory Coast international is unlikely to serve any time in prison but the club confirmed he will appeal the sentence, which, if upheld, will most likely see him undertake community service.
