Chelsea striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang as been omitted from Chelsea’s Champions League squad, it has been announced today.
But not only that, there are also claims that he is not in tonight’s Chelsea squad to face Fulham at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League. Seemingly there’s some issues here.

It seems like a pretty crazy situation and says to me that something has gone on here behind the scenes to lead to these extremities.
One of the many things Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf discussed earlier in his exclusive column for Si & Dan Talk Chelsea was how Graham Potter was going to be able to keep all of his players happy, with a huge squad now there at Cobham, and this has been a prime example of that already.
Appropriate quote from Frank Leboeuf earlier #aubameyang
"I know Graham Potter was wondering yesterday in the press conference how he can make everyone happy. It’s going to be a problem. I am wondering for some of the players what is going to happen."https://t.co/s8ZegMHkmw

It will be interesting to see now what happens with this one over the next days and weeks. It seems like Aubameyang has truly become out of favour.
