Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang’s future has been placed into further doubt after he was omitted from Chelsea’s 25-man squad for the Champions League
Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang’s future has been placed into further doubt after the striker suffered the humiliation of being omitted from Chelsea’s 25-man Champions League squad.
Potter could have left out the 19-year-old Carney Chukwuemeka to make space for Aubameyang or omitted the third-choice goalkeeper, Marcus Bettinelli, and called up a youth player in the event of injury to Kepa Arrizabalaga or Édouard Mendy. Bettinelli has played one game for Chelsea since joining in 2021.
Chelsea are unlikely to stand in Aubameyang’s way if they receive a suitable offer. The move has not worked out for either party. The Gabon international was signed to solve the team’s goalscoring problems and was looking forward to being reunited with Thomas Tuchel, who coached him at Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea would soon replace Tuchel with Potter, who has gradually eased Aubameyang out of the starting XI.
