However, Aubameyang was absent when Arsenal beat Sheffield United last weekend and was not part of the squad that flew to the Czech Republic for the second leg against Slavia.
"I spent a few days in the hospital this week, but I feel better every day, thanks to doctors who are able to detect and treat this virus quickly," said Aubameyang.
"I have not felt like myself in recent weeks, but will come back stronger than before," he wrote in the same post.
Arsenal, who are currently in ninth place in the Premier League, host Fulham on Sunday (18/6).
