Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stripped of Arsenal captaincy after disciplinary breach
In a statement, Arsenal have confirmed that forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been stripped of the club captaincy after another disciplinary breach. This comes after the 32-year-old breached the clubâs rules and was dropped for their 3-0 win over Southampton during the weekend.
Despite Pierre-Emerick Aubameyangâs struggles over the last few years, the forward has still been Arsenalâs club captain with Mikel Arteta very impressed by the 32-year-oldâs attitude. However, that changed last season when the forward was dropped for Arsenalâs win over Tottenham in March. But while Aubameyang was restored to the team, he was dropped again for the clubâs win over Southampton last weekend.
The Gunners won 3-0 but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was dropped with Mikel Arteta refusing to comment on the forwardâs status at the club. Things have become clearer since then as the club has released a statement that has confirmed reports that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been stripped of the captaincy. The statement also revealed that the 32-year-old wonât be considered for the teamâs game against West Ham on Wednesday.Â
âFollowing his latest disciplinary breach last week, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will no longer be our club captain, and will not be considered for selection for Wednesday's match against West Ham United,â reads the statement on the clubâs website.
âWe expect all our players, particularly our captain, to work to the rules and standards we have all set and agreed. We are fully focused on tomorrowâs match.â
