PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG is clinging to the Arsenal captaincy by his fingernails. A club captain cannot be repeatedly falling foul of the rules set by his manager. He is not only the leader on the pitch, he is supposed to lead by example off it, too, especially when the squad is as youthful as Arsenal's.

Arteta made the decision to punish his player for his misdemeanour (the full details of which the manager has chosen not to divulge). Dropping him from the match-day squad might be the kick up the backside he needed. This could act as a final warning for Aubameyang and then Arteta can address the issue of who should be his captain in the summer. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
