Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropped for disciplinary breach - Mikel Arteta

Last updated on 43 minutes ago.

In September 2020 Pierre-Emerick signed a new contract.

Mikel Arteta said that Pierre-Emerick was dropped for Saturday's match because of a "discipline issue".

In Monday's defeat by the Toffees, Aubameyang was a substitute.

He was not in the squad for the game.

Arteta said that they have certain non-negotiables in the team that they have set themselves as a club.

Arteta was asked if the club could impose a longer-term ban on the player. It's not an easy situation to have your club captain in.

Arteta has dropped Aubameyang before.

The player missed the win over Spurs for a "breach of pre- match protocol".

A new three-year contract was signed by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last year, after he joined the club for a then-record sum.

He has only scored four goals in the league this season, the last being against Villa.
