Aubameyang suffered broken jaw during robbery

With negotiations open between Chelsea and Barcelona to agree the final figures for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's transfer to London, a setback has emerged for the parties involved.

A few days ago, thieves broke into the Gabonese player's home. In an attempt to defend his wife and children from the thieves, the striker suffered a broken jaw. According to David Orstein, he will be sidelined for several weeks.

The Blues will now have to consider whether to continue negotiations with Barça despite Auba being sidelined for four to five weeks. It is not yet clear whether the player will have to undergo surgery or if he will recover naturally.

With all these circumstances, both teams are facing the final hours of the transfer window. It could be that the injury blows up the transfer of the Gabonese player to London, although the deal could also be changed and, instead of being a transfer, it could become a loan with a buyout clause, according to 'Sky Sports'.
