Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang breaks silence after being sent home early from AFCON

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has broken his silence after being sent home early from the African Cup of Nations by Gabon.

The 32-year-old was given special dispensation to depart for AFCON earlier than teammates Nicolas Pepe, Thomas Partey and Mohamed Elneny, but ended up testing positive for COVID-19 in the build up to the tournament.

In the aftermath of that the Gabon Federation claimed that Aubameyang was suffering with a minor heart problem, although football.london understands that Arsenal's doctors were not concerned by the issue after speaking to the player themselves.
