Chelsea and Arsenal face each other this Wednesday and Thomas Tuchel remembers how Aubameyang was at Borussia Dortmund. The manager recounted that he was always late.

Thomas Tuchel will measure up against Arsenal this Wednesday, where he will face up to his former player Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who he managed at Borussia Dortmund. The 'Blues' boss recounted how the attacker used to train with the German side.

“He was pretty much the only one who arrived late. So when we wanted him to be on time, we told him the meeting was 10.45am when the meeting was 11am so there was a good chance he would be there with everyone else.

“I don’t know and I still don’t know how he managed to keep the driving licence in his pocket because from the sound of the car, I don’t know if he was always on the speed limit. That’s him. It’s hard to be really mad with the guy because he comes with a big smile and he has a big heart", he continued.

Tuchel and the rest of the players used to hear his car "from far away... You could hear him from a kilometre away, we could prepare everything, start the video because he will arrive soon!" the German recalled.
