The Gunners captain did not attend the Gunners’ final training session ahead of Saturday’s Premier League match against Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side at London Colney.

The reason for Aubameyang’s absence on Friday is unknown at this time, but there are rumors that the 32-year-old is ill.

Arsenal’s captain was left on the bench against Everton on Monday night, with Mikel Arteta bringing him on for the final minutes of the 2-1 loss.

However, with Alexandre Lacazette unable to make an impact at Goodison Park, he was expected to return for Saturday’s match against Southampton.

At the start of the week, Aubameyang was training as usual and was active until Thursday.

However, the forward, who has four league goals this season, skipped Friday’s final warm-up session and was absent throughout the day at the club’s training facility.

Arsenal declined to comment on the reason for Aubameyang’s absence, but teams are becoming extra cautious now that Covid-19 is regaining prominence in football.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
