Aubameyang sinks

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s morale will not necessarily improve with new arrivals from Gabon for the OM center forward.

One. This number must be running through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s head. It’s the one we’ve been harping on for several weeks when we talk about the sad record of the OM center forward. The 34-year-old striker has only found the opposing net once this season in Ligue 1, a month ago against Le Havre (3-0).

In 10 Championship matches, this is not satisfactory for a player of such experience (Dortmund, Arsenal, FC Barcelona, ​​Chelsea). The rare scoring opportunities, or even situations, to his credit reinforce the enormous disappointment felt by the former ASSE player.

Bounce back in Athens

So, we are not surprised by his absence for the next international break. Gabon coach Thierry Mouyouma did not select Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the first two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, Kenya, then Burundi, on November 16 and 19.

“Aubame”, 74 caps and 30 goals, will try to smile again Thursday evening in Athens. OM will play against AEK on the 4th day of the Europa League.
