Piers Morgan says Mikel Arteta is 'publicly humiliating' Aubameyang

Piers Morgan has jumped to the defence of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang once again, insisting Mikel Arteta is 'publicly humiliating him' as the striker continues to be absent after losing the Arsenal captaincy.

Aubameyang was stripped of the captaincy earlier this week and dropped from the squad following a breach of discipline.

The striker failed to report back in time for a Covid test after travelling to France, with his manager's permission, to visit his unwell mother.

The Gunners have coped well in the striker's absence, beating Southampton 3-0 at the weekend before goals from youngsters Gabriel Martinelli and Emile Smith Rowe secured a 2-0 win over West Ham on Wednesday.
