Bad luck for the Mayenne football star. Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is positive for Covid-19. The player of the Gabon team was to play, from Monday, the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon. The Panthers of Gabon were in training camp in Dubai. Aubameyang and his teammate Mario Lemina have tested positive and are currently in solitary confinement at their hotel. French Gabon coach Patrice Neveu said the players did not “no symptoms“, reports theFrance Media Agency.
What is more annoying is that a video circulating on social networks shows the players concerned having dinner in a restaurant in Dubai, without masks and not really respecting barrier gestures.
Gabon is to face the Comoros team on Monday January 10. In group C, also appear Ghana and Morocco. Aubameyang’s teammates were heavily beaten last Sunday in Dubai by Burkina Faso, 3-0.
