According to the Daily Mail, Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be available for tonight’s game with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Aubameyang missed a league cup double-header with Southampton having travelled to see his mother, who is currently unwell.

The attacker then had to sit out Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United due to quarantine protocol, and has now tested negative.

That means Aubameyang is back in training and available for tonight’s game, giving Mikel Arteta a huge boost.

Alexandre Lacazette is expected to be fit too after a head injury against Manchester United, but Aubameyang’s return gives Arteta a major dilemma.

There may be a temptation to rest Lacazette anyway and go with Aubameyang up front, especially with Bukayo Saka back too.

Nicolas Pepe looks dangerous at the moment too, meaning Arsenal have options in the final third for tonight’s trip to Molineux.

Let’s see wha Arteta goes with, but having his big-name attacker back in Aubameyang makes a decision to start him very appealing.
