\"Arsenal\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two senior Arsenal players, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette<\/a>, were absent from the club\u2019s training session on Wednesday ahead of their Premier League derby with Chelsea on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Aubameyang and Lacazette featured prominently for Arsenal throughout pre-season. But were ruled out of the Gunners\u2019 2-0 defeat against Brentford last Friday due to illness.<\/p>\n

Brentford defeated Arsenal at home in the absence of their most experienced forwards. With Premier League debutant Folarin Balogun struggling to make an impact during the encounter.<\/p>\n

Asked to clarify why Aubameyang and Lacazette didn\u2019t feature against Brentford. Arteta only gave a brief explanation, saying: \u201cThey feel unwell, that is all I can say.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is [a big miss], but in the world that we are living in, I think the only permanent thing right now are changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Eddie Nketiah, was also missing from the session. Meaning rookie Balogun is in line to feature again against Chelsea. Who are likely to hand a debut to Romelu Lukaku<\/a> following his \u00a397million move from Inter Milan.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Reports had emerged of a growing \u2018friction\u2019 between Arteta and club captain Aubameyang. Who struggled to rediscover his best form last season after he signed a lucrative long-term contract with the North London club.<\/p>\n

The Gabonese international has been linked with a move to Barcelona this week. While Lacazette, who has entered the final year of his contract with Arsenal. Reported target for Jose Mourinho\u2019s AS Roma.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
