Paris St-Germain have punished Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani for returning late from their Christmas break/mid season break. The South American duo who were teammates at Napoli too, missed their teams mid season match in Qatar.
The strikers will train on their own for a week and have been fined by the French champions after missing a training camp in Morocco. They will miss a French Cup tie against Montpellier on Monday and a Ligue 1 match against Bastia on 10 January.
Blanc said their decision to return late so they could spend more time with their families hindered his team's ambitions for the second half of the season.
He said: "When you're in a sports club, a collective project, once you put a personal project before the group, it puts the group in danger. I detest that. Once you meddle with the group and the team, I can become nasty and unforgiving."
