Embattled Chelsea Striker Aubameyang Spotted Playing Five Aside in Milan

• Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is going through one of the most challenging moments of his career
• The Chelsea striker was left out of the UEFA Champions League squad despite scoring decisive goals in the group stage
• He was in Milan over the weekend but has now rejoined his teammates at Cobham

The past few months have been the most difficult for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He has shuttled between three clubs across two leagues and was denied the move to a fourth in January by FIFA rules.

The downturn in his career began when he was stripped of Arsenal's captaincy due to disciplinary issues. He was frozen out of the team and eventually sold to Barcelona. He left Spain after six months to join Chelsea.

His former manager at Borussia Dortmund, who signed him to Chelsea, was sacked after Aubameyang's first game, where he lasted only 59 minutes.

As reported by Goal, Graham Potter sent a message to the former Arsenal striker when he omitted him from the UEFA Champions League squad despite scoring two decisive goals against AC Milan in the group stage.

He excused himself and travelled to Milan and was spotted playing five-aside in his complete Chelsea kit, which he uploaded on his Instagram story, as noted by Mirror UK.
