Mikel Arteta update on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang illness

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta spoke to the press after Arsenal’s victory over Slavia Prague last night, and updated fans on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang‘s recovery from Malaria.

Aubameyang revealed to his Instagram followers that he had been hospitalised after contracting Malaria on international duty, ahead of yesterday’s fixture.


Aubameyang shared on his Instagram account;

"Hey guys, thanks for all the messages and calls. Unfortunately I contracted Malaria whilst being on national team duty in Gabon a few weeks ago. I’ve spent a few days in hospital this week but I’m already feeling much better every day, thanks to the great doctors that detected and treated the virus so quickly. I wasn’t really feeling myself the last couple weeks but will be back stronger than ever soon! πŸ™πŸΎ Will be watching my boys now, huge game for us!Let‘s go and get it @arsenal πŸ’ͺ🏾πŸ’ͺ🏾"

Mikel Arteta can now reveal that Aubameyang is back home as he continues his recovery, with the player himself expecting to be back training and playing in no time.

I’m not expecting him to be back in the squad for Sunday’s clash with Fulham, but it is a relief to hear that he appears to be making a speedy recovery.
