DBasia.news – Dark clouds still seem to accompany Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. His unfortunate luck at Arsenal now continues into the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
As is known, Aubameyang has been frozen from the Arsenal main squad since early December. This was due to his repeated indisciplinary violations.
Since then, Aubameyang seems to have disappeared from the Arsenal squad. The 32-year-old player has even entered the Gunners’ selling list in the winter transfer market.
In the midst of that difficult situation, Aubameyang had a chance to rise. He was called up by the Gabon national team to appear in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Aubameyang is not just an ordinary player in his country’s national team. He is the captain and main star of Gabon.
Appearing in the Africa Cup of Nations is an opportunity for Aubameyang to improve his image. This championship can also be a means for him to attract big clubs.
However, this hope is would most likely fade. Aubameyang is in danger of missing the opening match of the group stage as he has tested positive for the corona virus (Covid-19).
Aubameyang must now self-isolate until his test result is negative. In fact, in 4 days, Gabon will play the first match of the group phase against the Comoros.
With such a short time, Aubameyang’s chances of appearing in the match are unlikely. He would even be absent when Gabon challenges Ghana in the second match, January 14.
Ironically, Aubameyang was suspected of contracting the corona virus while attending a party in Dubai. The moment occurred on the sidelines of the Gabon national team preparations for the African Cup of Nations.
At the party, Aubameyang was present with Mario Lemina who was also called up to the Gabon national team. The Nice player is now also positive with corona virus.
If the allegations are true, Aubameyang’s image will certainly be damaged even more. Big clubs who were interested in using his services would most likely change their minds.
