Aubameyang will face 'consequences' if guilty of Covid-19 rules breach, says Arsenal boss Arteta

The Gunners have been investigating whether their captain broke protocols by getting a new tattoo

Mikel Arteta refused to confirm whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had broken Covid-19 protocols by getting a new tattoo but insisted the Arsenal skipper would be dealt with internally if he was found to have done so.

Pictures and footage emerged last week which appeared to show the 31-year-old had been given a new inking by Spanish tattoo artist Alejandro Nicolas Bernal.

The images initially appeared on Bernal’s Instagram story, but it was unclear when and where Aubameyang had been given the new tattoo and whether Bernal was part of the Gabon international's Covid bubble.
