Injuries

There’s plenty of news to come out of the press conferences, but there will be early concern for Aubameyang owners. He did train on Thursday, but is thought to be struggling with illness. Will that discourage you from handing him the armband?

"Today, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is sick but I think he's OK for Saturday. Also yesterday, Laurent Koscielny was sick but today he is training well. I think the other players are well and will be OK for Saturday." #AFC
