Aubameyang ‘can’t understand’ Dortmund punishment

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang insists he doesn’t understand why he has been suspended by Borussia Dortmund.

The Gabon striker has been removed from Dortmund’s squad for their weekend fixture against Stuttgart for disciplinary reasons.

Despite reports of Dortmund becoming tired of Aubameyang’s poor timekeeping, which follows a jaunt to Milan that was unsanctioned by the club last season which forced him to miss a Champions League game, the centre-forward says he cannot fathom why he is being punished.

“I didn’t turn up late for training. After my trip to Milan I could understand my suspension because I ignored an announcement that time.

This time I really can’t understand it.”
