Aubameyang Arsenal debut may be delayed by sickness
Arsenal could be without record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang against Everton due to a sickness bug.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's Premier League debut may not come this weekend after Arsenal Wenger revealed the Arsenal striker is struggling with a fever.
Fever could mean no pitch for Aubameyang
Aubameyang completed a deadline day move to the Emirates for a club record £56million as part of a convoluted process that saw Borussia Dortmund sign Michy Batshuayi on loan from Chelsea and Olivier Giroud move to Stamford Bridge.
The Gabon international has been in fine form for Dortmund with 13 goals in 16 Bundesliga games.
