BORUSSIA DORTMUND has suspended its top scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for what the club says are "disciplinary reasons."
Dortmund says on Twitter that Aubameyang, who has 10 goals in 11 Bundesliga games this season, has been left out of the side to face Stuttgart away on Friday.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been dropped from the Borussia Dortmund squad for 'disciplinary reasons'
The club does not give an indication of what led to the sanction for the Gabon forward.
Aubameyang was suspended by the club before, last November, when he missed the 1-0 win over Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League for a trip to Milan against then-coach Thomas Tuchel's wishes. Aubameyang is going through a bad patch at Dortmund, having failed to score in any of his last five games. Meanwhile, the club has slumped to three defeats in four league games without a win. German newspaper Bild reported how Aubameyang used two days off granted by the club during the international break to visit former Dortmund team-mate Ousmane Dembele.
In the summer, Dembele made a £109m move from the German giants to Barcelona. The two footballers visited Barcelona nightclub Shoko during their meet-up, and shared a photo on Instagram. Earlier this week SunSport reported how the striker revealed his club were "willing to sell him" in the summer. The Gabon striker has been linked with moves away from the Bundesliga over the last two years.
The striker told Sport Bild:"There was a time in the window when I could have changed.
“We (Aubameyang and the Dortmund board) agreed on this together in all openness but nothing happened.
"I have always felt very comfortable in Dortmund, in the team and at BVB, and that is true today, too. BVB is my family!"
