Graham Potter reveals Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's absence from Chelsea's FA Cup squad was due to a 'back issue'... not as a result of his dismal Premier League performance on Thursday

Daily Mail | January 9, 2023

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has said a back injury prevented Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from playing in his side's FA Cup defeat to Manchester City.

Chelsea suffered their second loss to City in four days, having lost 1-0 in the Premier League on Thursday and 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Fans had questioned whether Aubameyang's dismal performance on Thursday was the reason why he was excluded from Potter's team on Sunday. However, the Chelsea boss set the record straight.
