Gabon Releases Aubameyang to Marseille After Thigh Discomfort Confirmed

Overview

• Fegafoot announced that, in consultation with Olympique de Marseille, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is being returned to his club to continue medical care.
• Daily examinations by the Gabon and OM medical staffs confirmed a sensation of discomfort in his left thigh following the Mozambique match.
• With Gabon already eliminated from CAN 2025, the striker will not play the final group fixture against Ivory Coast.
• The decision follows public friction over his use at the tournament, after he was brought on early in the opener despite Marseille’s recommendation for rest and a sharp response from coach Thierry Mouyouma.
• His involvement against Nantes in Ligue 1 and in the Trophée des Champions versus PSG remains uncertain pending OM’s assessments.
