Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has issued an update on his injury status as he continues to nurse a knock and a broken jaw. The 33-year-old striker joined Chelsea from Barcelona on transfer deadline day, penning a two-year deal which includes the option of a further year.
football.london understand that Thomas Tuchel was a driving force behind Aubameyang's move to west London this summer amid the club's mission to sign a number nine following the departures of Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner. The former Chelsea boss was said to have specifically identified the former Arsenal captain as a priority signing.
However, Tuchel has since been replaced by Graham Potter and Aubameyang faces a new challenge amid his injury worries. The retired Gabon international started in the new boss' first game for Chelsea, soldiering on through an injury.
