Mikel Arteta reveals whether Aubameyang will make comeback vs Leeds

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is unavailable for selection for Arsenal’s game against Leeds on Saturday after being stripped of the club captaincy earlier this week.

In a statement released by the Gunners on Tuesday, it was announced that the Gabon international would no longer be skipper due to his ‘latest disciplinary breach’.

It has been reported that Aubameyang recently returned to the UK late after being given permission to fly to France to visit his mother, while the striker has also missed matches and training in the past.

The 32-year-old was consequently left out of the squad for the win over West Ham on Wednesday, and will not make his return to face Marcelo Bielsa’s side on Saturday.

‘No, he’s not available for selection,’ said Arteta on Friday.

When pressed on whether the striker has a future at the north London club, Arteta reiterated: ‘For this game, he’s not available for selection.’
