Gabonese forward, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has been stripped off his captaincy role at English Premier League side, Arsenal.
The English club which made the announcement on Tuesday December 14, 2021, also declared the forward will not be included in the team’s next EPL fixture against West Ham United.
“Following his latest disciplinary breach last week, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will no longer be our club captain, and will not be considered for selection for Wednesday’s match against West Ham United.
We expect all our players, particularly our captain, to work to the rules and standards we have all set and agreed.
We are fully focused on tomorrow’s match.” The club wrote on its website Tuesday.
According to the team, the Gabonese was taken off his the captaincy due to disciplinary reasons including travelling without the club’s permission which the outfit considered as irresponsible and disrespectful.
The action comes barely three days after the outfit benched the former skipper during its last league game on Saturday December 11 against Southampton.
The club has not named a new captain but the likes of French forward, Alexander Lacazette is expected to pick up the position before a new captain is named.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang who joined the English club from Borussia Dortmund in 2017, was named captain last year.
The forward has scored over 65 goals for the English giants including 4 goals in 13 matches this season.
