Arsenal star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang announced he was hospitalized after contracting malaria while playing for the Gabon national team.
"I’ve spent a few days in hospital this week but I’m already feeling much better every day, thanks to the great doctors that detected and treated the virus so quickly," Aubameyang wrote Thursday on Instagram. "I wasn’t really feeling myself the last couple weeks but will be back stronger than ever soon!"
The 31-year-old started and scored a goal in Gabon's 3-0 victory over the Democratic Republic of Congo in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match March 25.
