'He's done nothing wrong at all': Graham Potter insists Chelsea outcast Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's Champions League omission is down to numbers and praises the out-of-form striker for 'handling it very well'

Graham Potter said Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has done 'nothing wrong' after he was left out of Chelsea's Champions League squad for the rest of the season.

Aubameyang flew to Milan after being told he would not be involved in the team's Premier League clash with Fulham on Friday night, which ended in a goalless stalemate as £106.5million record-signing Enzo Fernandez made his Blues debut.

The Argentina World Cup winner was one of three new signings added to Potter's European selection ahead of the last-16 first-leg meeting with Borussia Dortmund on February 15, but the Blues boss insisted the omission of striker Aubameyang, who joined from Barcelona last summer, was simply a matter of numbers.
