Arteta: 'Unpleasant situation' as Aubameyang stripped of Arsenal captaincy

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta described the "unpleasant situation" that has unfolded after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was stripped of the Arsenal captaincy.

On Tuesday morning, the club confirmed Gabon forward Aubameyang would no longer wear the captain’s armband and would also not be considered for the visit of West Ham on Wednesday night.
