<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Lemina, a former Southampton and Fulham midfielder, has also caught the infection, and the pair will need to isolate before their first game of the campaign.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mikel Arteta stripped him of his captaincy status after a recent disciplinary transgression, and the 32-year-old has had a terrible month.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">He hasn&#8217;t played for Arsenal since a 2-1 defeat to Everton in early December.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Arsenal have improved their records in all competitions since then, qualifying for the Carabao Cup semi-finals and winning four of their last five Premier League games, with only one defeat coming against Manchester City at the top of the table.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">In current transfer window, Aubameyang is weighing his options, with Arsenal open to bids for their now-exiled former captain.</span></p>
