Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang misses Gabon's World Cup 2022 Qualifying defeat to Egypt ahead of the Gunners' clash with Liverpool this weekend.

Arsenal have been dealt an injury worry with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of Saturday's Premier League encounter with Liverpool.

The Gabon international netted the winner for his side in Friday's World Cup Qualifying clash with Libya before leaving the field on a stretcher.

Videos surfaced on social media of Aubameyang celebrating his side's victory in the dressing room, though, seemingly allaying any fears of a long-term layoff.

However, the 32-year-old was unable to take part in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Egypt due to the injury, which leaves Arsenal sweating over his fitness for Saturday's trip to Anfield.

Aubameyang's issue is not thought to be anything too severe at present, but concern has arisen among the Arsenal fanbase before the meeting with Jurgen Klopp's side.

The former Borussia Dortmund man has seven goals and two assists to his name from 11 appearances in all competitions this season, with four of those strikes coming in the Premier League.
