Burglarized very early this Monday morning, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was violently beaten by his attackers. According to several sources, both Spanish and English, the FC Barcelona striker is suffering from a broken jaw. An injury that should rule him out for a period of between 3 and 6 weeks.
During the burglary, carried out by hooded and armed men, the Gabonese international and his wife were reportedly handcuffed. Their children were also at home during the incident.
His transfer to Chelsea disrupted?
The fracture of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes even as his name is announced with insistence from the side of Chelsea. This injury could well affect the future of the former Arsenal player, according to British media The Athletic. The latest offer from Chelsea would reach 23 million euros, not including two million euros in bonuses.
But since his injury became known, talks about a loan are ongoing. An option that would at least allow FC Barcelona to reduce its payroll for the coming season. Xavi appreciates the player, but his departure is more linked to the financial situation of Barça as well as the arrival of a Robert Lewandowski who is already a hit in his new colors.
The duration of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s unavailability remains uncertain, report The Athletic. An operation could allow the Gabonese international to return to the field more quickly, while a natural recovery would take longer. A major difference, since the striker could therefore only be able to play a few games before the cessation of club competitions for the World Cup (November 20 to December 18).
