Olympique de Marseille striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had to withdraw from his team’s Europa League match on Thursday at AEK Athens, the club learned on Wednesday. The Gabonese center forward, who did not participate in the training session scheduled for Wednesday morning in Marseille, is not in the group selected by Gennaro Gattuso to travel to Athens.
Rongier absent for several weeks
According to a club spokesperson, who did not give further details, he is suffering from “discomfort”. His case does not inspire any particular concern within the club. The absence of Aubameyang comes in addition to that of Valentin Rongier, whose knee injury was announced Tuesday evening by OM. The midfielder will have surgery and his absence could be long.
