Arsenal: Aubameyang's latest disciplinary breach has compounded concerns about making him captain
Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's latest disciplinary breach has compounded long-standing concerns about his suitability as club captain from senior coaching staff.
The forward was axed from the squad that recorded a convincing 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday after reporting back for club duty late from an approved trip abroad last week; manager Mikel Arteta confirming before kick-off the decision was due to a 'disciplinary' issue.
And Sportsmail has learned the controversy has amplified pre-existing reservations from figures inside the club's training ground about Aubameyang's position as skipper.
