Why Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang misses the Arsenal match with the Wolves

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will not participate in the huge Arsenal Premier League clash with the Wolves on Wednesday night, after being completely excluded from the 18-man squad.

The Gabonese striker showed no sign of discomfort during his last outing this weekend, marking the defeat on Sunday against Crystal Palace and bringing his record to the season at 19 – joining Sergio Aguero and Mohamed Salah at the top of the table scorers.

But he will not have the chance to take the lead immediately after asking for a 'small sinus procedure' before the match.

Arsenal has confirmed the news before the kickoff and has announced that it will be evaluated before Sunday 's move to face Leicester City, even though he expects it to happen. he is fit.

In his absence, Unai Emery chose Alexandre Lacazette to lead the line alone with Alex Iwobi, Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, all to support him.

Speaking of the absence of Aubameyang, Emery said Sky sports: "He had a small operation in the face, it's only for a few days, but he has to [get back] as fast as possible. It's not today, but we have another player ready to play and we can be consistent with these players, I think. "

The news is a blow to Arsenal in its pursuit of the top four, Aubameyang having scored in four of the last seven league games of the Gunners.

He seems to have been struggling with this problem for some time now and that is why Emery replaced him, the Spaniard hinting at a problem a few weeks ago.
