Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta dropped Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in today’s clash with Southampton due to a disciplinary breach.
Aubameyang wasn’t included in the Arsenal squad that defeated the Saints 3-0, with rumours aplenty of a bust up in training.
Asked why his striker is missing out Arteta said: “Unfortunately, due to a disciplinary breach.
“I think we have been very consistent, there are non-negotiables we have set as a club and I think we have been very consistent.”
The Arsenal boss was then quizzed on the possible length of time Aubameyang could be out. Arteta replied: “It starts today.
“Certainly it’s not an easy situation and not a situation we want.”
