Ben Arfa denied Nice return as Emery selects PSG's 'best'

The France international winger will not get the chance to grace the Allianz Riviera again after being left out for a top-of-the-table Ligue 1 clash

Hatem Ben Arfa will not be given the chance to feature against his former team Nice when Paris Saint-Germain travel to the Allianz Riviera on Sunday, with coach Unai Emery saying he has only selected "the best".

The 30-year-old attacking midfielder has endured a difficult first season at the Parc des Princes, his failure to impress Emery and a number of injury problems limiting him to just 10 starts in all competitions.
