Instead of supporting his team | Aubameyang escape to Milan – SOCCER

Family time against the frustration!

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (33) was only dropped from the squad for the Champions League at Chelsea on Friday – of all things before the knockout round against his former club Dortmund (February 15/March 7).

Reason: According to Uefa regulations, only three new players may be registered in the premier class squad for the knockout round. And to make room for Enzo Fernandez (22), Mykhailo Mudryk (22) and João Félix (23), the Gabonese international was singled out by the club.

In addition to Aubameyang, the winter newcomers David Fofana, Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos, Gabriel Slonina and Benoit Badiashile could all not be considered.

But that’s not all: As “The Sun” reports, the striker was also removed from the Chelsea squad for the game against Fulham (0-0) on Friday evening.

But instead of supporting his team in the stadium, Aubameyang fled to Italy!

His brother Willy posted a photo on his Instagram page (1 million followers) showing him with his siblings and their children in front of Milan Cathedral. Willy wrote: “My Family”.

Aubameyang holds the camera himself and can be seen at the front of the group photo wearing a blue and white Louis Vuitton sweater.

It is not yet known whether Aubameyang was released for the trip abroad or whether he flew to Italy without the club’s permission.

However, Potter stressed that the striker handled the news of his departure well: “He’s a professional, I understand he’ll be disappointed. It was a tough decision. Pierre is just unhappy and he will fight for his place for the rest of the season.”

Further: “Whatever decision we made, there were always discussions about it. It was my choice. You have to make those decisions. He didn’t do anything wrong at all. It’s my responsibility to convey these decisions to the player as best I can. He did very well, he trained fantastically today.”

Aubameyang only moved from Barcelona to Stamford Bridge in September 2022, but has only scored three goals and has only started nine games since Tuchel’s successor and new coach Graham Potter (47) took over the team.
