Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: Arsenal captain to miss Carabao Cup quarter-final with calf injury
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will miss Arsenal’s Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester City with a calf injury, says Mikel Arteta.
Aubameyang was absent for the Gunners’ 2-1 defeat at Everton on Saturday, after which they find themselves 15th in the Premier League and just four points above the relegation zone.
Tuesday’s game at home to City – live on Sky Sports – is an opportunity for Arsenal to forget about the wretched league form and focus on reaching a cup semi-final, but their task is made harder without their captain.
Arteta said: „Auba is not fit for tomorrow, that’s for sure. [He] is feeling much better. He was more positive yesterday (Sunday) than in the previous two days. He will have another scan in the next few days and we will see how quickly we can get him back in the team.
„He knows how important he is for us, he feels the responsibility and he is trying his best to be fit as quick as possible.“
How to beat Arsenal is obvious
„We need to generate more to win football matches,“ said Mikel Arteta afterwards. That much is clear but how are Arsenal planning to do that? Their 2-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday was more of the same from a team languishing towards the bottom of the table.
Ten games have yielded one win and Arteta cannot argue that his team have been unfortunate, not now. This is no false position; this is a poor Premier League team. The problems are apparent and, perhaps even more worryingly, they are familiar. Arsenal do not create chances from open play, let alone score them, and that sluggish approach play is beginning to appear as if it is by design.
„Everton have just let them have the ball,“ said Jamie Carragher, on co-commentary for Sky Sports. „The same as at Tottenham – let Arsenal have the ball and what can they do? They create nothing.
„When a team drop off and they are winning, it is up to you then to create chances, not keep the ball. Possession means nothing then – it is about what you create. The competition is not who keeps the ball the most. Everton are winning, they have dropped off. What can you create?
„I cannot think of anything in this second half where Arsenal have created a chance that they should have scored or the goalkeeper has made a great save. That is the name of the game.“
