Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has revealed some injury news ahead of Thursday night's clash against Slavia Prague, with a particular focus on club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Have a look at what he had to say!
Aubameyang has come under the spotlight in recent weeks. Some pundits have pointed towards a lack of goal contributions, whilst others have criticised his poor attitude. This latter controversy reached its apex when Arteta himself left Aubameyang out of the Arsenal squad against Tottenham, citing 'disciplinary reasons' as the reason for his absence.
Despite Aubameyang being a doubt for Thursday's tie against Slavia, the 'Gunners' still have it all to do in Prague. They let a 1-0 lead slip through their fingers at the Emirates, conceding a goal from Slavia defender Tomas Holes in the last minute of the match. Arteta will be hoping his team can turn it around on Thursday, as they had gone into the tie as favourites.
