Serge Aurier has been suspended until March 20th for his comments about Laurent Blanc.

Aurier had conducted a question and answer session on Periscope – effectively being interviewed by his friend Mamadou Doucouré, a former reserve player at Lens and Atlético Madrid, late on Saturday night – in which he appeared to describe Blanc as a “faggot”.

Aurier also suggested Blanc has favored Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Aurier, a regular in the team this season, has apologized publicly for his comments.
