Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery has said midfielder Marco Verratti is "happy in Paris and at PSG" after recent comments by Italy coach Giampiero Ventura.

Ventura criticised Ligue 1 and claimed 24-year-old Verratti was not being tested enough after questions were raised over his form and fitness.

Emery said he did not know "in which context these remarks were made" but told a news conference ahead of Sunday's game at Lyon: "For Verratti, he needed three months to get back to full fitness -- that is what the specialists said after his injury.

"He is happy in Paris and at PSG, one of the most important teams in the world."
