Why Todd Boehly has flown Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Milan after completing Chelsea transfer

Chelsea are doing everything it takes to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang return to action after suffering an injury prior to penning a deadline-day switch from Barcelona. The 33-year-old's jaw was broken by house robbers just days before swapping the Camp Nou for Stamford bridge.

So, according to The Times, the Blues have flown out Aubameyang to Milan to be fitted with a mask so that he can feature for the club as soon as possible. The striker was attacked and robbed at his home in Castelldefels by four people wearing masks, who were armed with guns and iron bars, Barcelona officials confirmed on Monday, August 29.

The former Arsenal captain will be treated by Milan-based orthopaedic specialists Ortholabsport. Thomas Tuchel has refused to rule Aubameyang out of Tuesday night's Champions League group stage opener versus Dinamo Zagreb, where he is thought to make his Chelsea debut.
