Paris Saint – Germain outcast Adrien Rabiot has been suspended until the end of the month for a reported outing to a nightclub after last week ’ s Champions League loss to Manchester United .The French international midfielder is in open dispute with PSG and has not played since mid – December after failing to agree a new contract .

According to French sports newspaper L ’ Equipe , Rabiot was punished for a nightclub visit after PSG were knocked out of the Champions League by United .

But also for ‘ liking ’ a video posted on social media by former Man United player Patrice Evra celebrating the win in the stands at the Parc des Princes .

“ Adrien Rabiot has received a letter suspending him , ” a source told AFP .

“ I find unacceptable the attitude and lack of professionalism of a player like Adrien Rabiot towards the club , his teammates and the fans , ” PSG sporting director Antero Henrique said on RMC Sport , referring to the night out .

“ Remember up to June 30 , 2019 , he is part of our squad . ”

Rabiot told Infosport on Thursday that it wasn ’ t him “ who had chosen this situation . It ’ s not a choice that I’ ve made” .

He added : “ I’ m available , everything ’ s fine , I’ m in great shape . If I could play … . but the ( club ) management have decided otherwise . ”

Asked by Infosport for his feelings after PSG’ s latest European failure Rabiot said that it had made him feel “ bad ” .

“ I’ m still a player at the club despite what they can say . I’ m still under contract . I’ m behind my teammates , of course it was disappointing . ”

Relations between Rabiot , who has been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona , and PSG have broken down , with the club ordering him to train with the reserves .

In January he appealed to the French League’ s legal committee , claiming that PSG’ s decision to banish him goes against the “ professional footballer ’ s charter” , with the league finding in his favour .
