Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has branded the criminals who threatened his family "violent cowards" in a moving statement.
The former Arsenal captain was the victim of a horrifying armed robbery in his home in the early hours of Monday morning. Reports in Spain claimed at least four intruders made their way through the garden with firearms and iron bars.
Aubameyang is said to have been beaten and his wife was intimidated into opening the safe, allowing thieves to make off with numerous valuables, including items of jewellery, before they fled the scene in an Audi. Further shocking revelations about the attack on the Gabonese's home surfaced on Wednesday as it emerged he suffered a broken jaw while attempting to defend his family.
