Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has dropped captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for his side’s home game against Southampton on Saturday due to a “disciplinary breach.”
“Unfortunately, due to a disciplinary breach,” Arteta said when asked why Aubameyang wasn’t in the team.
“I think we have been very consistent, there are non-negotiables we have set as a club and I think we have been very consistent.”
When asked how long Aubameyang would be absent, Arteta said: “It starts today.
“Certainly it’s not an easy situation and not a situation we want.”
