According to the Guardian, after Aubameyang's repeated disciplinary violations, Arsenal believed they had to take some action against the players and therefore stripped him of his captain's armband.
Today, Arsenal officially stripped Aubameyang of the captain's armband and that he will not play in the next game due to his late return after going abroad.
Aubameyang has already committed a number of previous disciplinary violations, including a breach of the rules in February and a late arrival in March, he was warned for violating the rules and was excluded from the starting list against Tottenham Because of his late arrival, but overall, Arsenal are still very lenient about Aubameyang.
The Guardian said it was because Arsenal were sympathetic to Aubameyang's recent off-field affairs, such as the serious illness of the player's mother and the player's own hospitalization with malaria, but Aubameyang's repeated disciplinary violations made Arsenal feel that they should act.
In the match against Southampton, Lacazette wore the captain's armband, but the Future of the French striker is unclear, and Xhaka may not be considered again because of his previous bad experience as captain, so Tierney and Erdergao's young players may become the new captains. Erdegaard, who turned 23 on Friday, is already the norwegian captain of the national team.
