Premier League club Arsenal on Tuesday stripped Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of the team captaincy following his latest disciplinary breach. The striker, who was dropped for Saturday’s 3-0 Premier League win over Southampton, will not be considered for Wednesday’s game against West Ham.


“We expect all our players, particularly our captain, to work to the rules and standards we have all set and agreed,” Arsenal said in a statement. “We are fully focused on tomorrow’s match,” it added.


Earlier, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had said in an interview that the decision to leave out the striker was unfortunately due to a disciplinary breach. However, he had not disclosed how Aubameyang broke the rules, but The Athletic reported that the footballer returned late from an authorised trip abroad. 


“We have been very consistent, that we have certain non-negotiables in the team that we have set ourselves as a club,” said Arteta after the Southampton match.
