Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang focused on other things, hints Borussia Dortmund manager

Borussia Dortmund manager Peter Stoger confirmed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang missed Friday’s match against Hertha Berlin because his mind was ‘focused on many things’.
The prolific striker has been heavily linked with a January move to Arsenal as Arsene Wenger looks to reshape his attack in light of Alexis Sanchez‘s impending move to Manchester United.
Dortmund secured a 1-1 draw against Hertha in the absence of the 28-year-old Gabon international, who angered his current club’s fans after he was pictured playing in a five-a-side match with friends while his teammates were in action.
Despite his latest indiscretion, Stoger insists Aubameyang could yet feature in Dortmund’s next fixture against Freiburg if he regains his focus.

‘Well generally it doesn’t bother me at all if Aubameyang right now is kicking it around somewhere else. That’s his decision. If he had been good the moment we had training, he would have played [Friday] today,’ Stoger said.
‘But I didn’t have that impression of him in the last training before the match.
‘I felt like he was busy with many things but not this important match. That’s why he wasn’t with us.
‘If he is also playing football all the time next week and there are photos of him, then he will be in the squad against Freiburg.’
