Arsenal are reportedly going to be without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang tomorrow.

The Gunners host Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium in arguably their biggest game of the Premier League season.

But according to Football London‘s Chris Wheatley, Arsenal won’t have Aubameyang available.

The 31-year-old hitman scored twice in his last game for the North Londoners but a family issue resulted in the club giving him some personal time off.

Aubameyang revealed on Wednesday that his mother was on the road to recovery following an illness.

But the former Borussia Dortmund marksman won’t be back in time to face the Red Devils in 24 hours.

Aubameyang hasn’t been at his free-scoring best this season in comparison to how he performed for most of his three-year spell with Arsenal.

However, to be without your captain and best attacker is certainly a major blow for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Victory would see the Emirates Stadium outfit – who sit eighth in the Premier League table – move level on points with Tottenham which, when you consider where both sides were just last month, would be quite an achievement.
