Violating The Discipline Rules Is The Reason For Captain Aubameyang's Position Removal

JAKARTA - Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been removed from his post as captain of Premier League side Arsenal after reportedly violating the club's disciplinary rules last week.

Quoted from Antara, Wednesday, Arsenal has confirmed this because they want all their players to work by following the rules and standards that have been prepared to be approved.

"We expect all players, especially our captain, to work with the rules and standards that we have set and agreed upon. We are fully focused on tomorrow's match (today, red)," Arsenal's official statement read.

Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has refused to speak about what Aubameyang's disciplinary breaches caused him to lose the captain's armband and not be involved in Arsenal's last Premier League game.

In addition, Aubameyang also certainly will not participate in the 17th week of the English Premier League when Arsenal will travel to West Ham headquarters, Thursday morning Indonesian time.

"You won't get anything else from me. Unfortunately, it happened. I explained what happened and the reason he (Aubameyang) was not involved and that's where I will continue to talk about it," said Arteta after the game against Southampton on Saturday.

This season, Aubameyang has appeared in 15 games for Arsenal and contributed 7 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League and the English League Cup.

Since defending Arsenal from January 2018, Aubameyang managed to make 163 appearances and managed to score 92 goals and 21 assists for the Gunners in various competitions.
