Arteta Rules Aubameyang Out Of Leeds vs Arsenal Clash 

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has revealed that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would not be available for the Gunners’ Premier League match at Leeds on Saturday.

Aubameyang, who was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy after a disciplinary breach, has been dropped for the previous two matches.

Arteta was able to confirm that the Gabon striker would be sitting out Saturday’s trip to Leeds but otherwise remained tight-lipped on the situation.

“No he’s not available for selection,” said Arteta, who batted away questions on Aubameyang’s future.

Asked how he had coped with the fallout of taking the armband from Aubameyang, Arteta said: “Every time that you are sitting here, you have some challenges.

“You have some brilliant moments and some moments when you have to make decisions.

“I am sitting here to try to make the right decisions every day. My only intention is that – to get the club in the best possible condition, to defend our players and get the best possible results on the pitch that we can.

“It’s been challenging because those decisions are tough and not pleasant, but you have to do what you feel is right.”
