Aubameyang suffers broken jaw in robbery attack

Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang suffered a broken jaw when he was attacked during a robbery at his home.

Four people wearing masks threatened the 33-year-old former Arsenal player and his wife with guns and iron bars.

One of the attackers is believed to have struck Aubameyang on the chin with an iron bar.

The injury is expected to put Aubameyang out of action for three weeks, although he will be able to resume non-contact training next week.

“Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the messages,” Aubameyang wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.

“On Sunday night, some violent cowards broke into our home and threatened my family and my children, just to steal some stuff.

“They injured my jaw but I will recover in no time, and thank God no one else was physically harmed.

“The feeling that we are no longer safe in our own home is hard to understand and describe, but as a family, we will overcome this and stand stronger than ever.

“Thanks for all the support, it really means a lot to us. Auba.”
