In Tuesday’s EFL Cup quarter-final with Manchester City, Arsenal will be without striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Manager Mikel Arteta reported that Aubameyang is progressing but will not be ready at Emirates Stadium to face Pep Guardiola’s side.
“Auba is feeling much better and he was more positive yesterday [Sunday] than in the previous two days,” Arteta told reporters on Monday. “He will have another scan in the next few days and we will see how quickly we can get him back in the team.”
“We know how important he is for us and he feels that responsibility and he is trying his best to be back fit as quickly as possible. For the rest, I don’t think we’re going to have any news today before training.”
In the EFL Cup clash with Manchester City, Arsenal will be without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, a game welcomed as a diversion by Mikel Arteta.
“Auba is not fit for tomorrow, that’s for sure. He won’t be playing tomorrow so we will see who is available because we have a few doubts as well in other positions. We want to get together a very competitive team because we know the level of City and we want to win the game tomorrow.”
