Aubameyang involved in car crash hours before Leicester defeat

Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was reportedly involved in a car crash just hours before Saturday night’s game against Leicester.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, the striker was driving his Lamborghini prior to the game and was involved in the incident.

Details of the crash remain unclear at this stage, with Arsenal yet to comment on the speculation.

Thankfully, Aubameyang was clearly not injured from the incident after featuring in the game at the King Power later that day.

However, it doesn’t make for good reading from an Arsenal perspective, espically after reports that raised concerns over his role as the new club captain.

It remains to be seen who or what was behind the incident. Arsenal will be thankful that the striker was not hurt, but they may be wary if details reveal that he was at fault.

Aubameyang will be out to prove his worth as the new club captain in the weeks come. In their current state, the Gunners need clear leadership within the squad more than ever.
