Arsenal vs Everton - Illness puts Aubameyang’s Arsenal debut in doubt
Posted Friday, February 02, 2018 by PA
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may have to wait for his Arsenal debut as illness could rule him out of Saturday’s Premier League visit of Everton.
The Gunners broke their transfer record to land the Gabon forward from Borussia Dortmund but a fever means he is a doubt to make his bow this weekend.
Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed Henrikh Mkhitaryan will make his first start but Jack Wilshere has also been ill and could be sidelined, while Danny Welbeck (hip) and Santi Cazorla (Achilles) remain absent.
Everton’s new on-loan defender Eliaquim Mangala could be involved at the Emirates Stadium.
The Frenchman joined from Manchester City on deadline day and is set to be in the squad.
Manager Sam Allardyce may decide to rest Seamus Coleman after his first appearance in 319 days after a double leg fracture, while midfielder James McCarthy is in the early stages of rehabilitation from a similar injury.
