Gregory van der Wiel has been fined by Paris Saint-Germain in the wake of a row with Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

A report in French newspaper L'Equipe this week claimed the pair clashed at half-time during Sunday's title-clinching 9-0 win at Troyes.

Dutch right-back Van der Wiel did not reappear after half-time, and it was later reported he had refused to play on.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's game against Monaco, PSG boss Laurent Blanc said: "Gregory van der Wiel has been punished by the club, financially. There is no sporting sanction, so he will be in the squad."

Marco Verratti remains out with a hernia and there are no guarantees he will return in time for next month's Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

"We are doing everything to treat Verratti," Blanc said. "I know that everyone at PSG and in the Italy set-up is impatient and that everyone wants to hurry him back, but I will not give a date for his return.
