From Metro, Arsenal look likely to be without their two senior strikers for Sunday’s London derby against Chelsea after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette appeared to be absent from Wednesday’s training session.
The duo featured prominently throughout pre-season, but were ruled out of last Friday’s Premier League match against Brentford through illness.
Mikel Arteta’s side slid to an ignominious 2-0 defeat against the newly-promoted Bees in the absence of their most experienced forwards, with Premier League debutant Folarin Balogun struggling to make an impact.
Asked to clarify why Lacazette and Aubameyang didn’t feature against Brentford, Arteta only gave a brief explanation, saying: “They feel unwell, that’s all I can say.”
“It is [a big miss] but in the world that we’re living in, I think the only permanent thing right now are changes.”
Reports subsequently emerged of a growing ‘friction’ between Arteta and club captain Aubameyang who struggled rediscover his best form last season affter he signed a lucrative long-term contract.
