Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could make his debut this Tuesday with Chelsea against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League wearing a mask to protect his jaw, injured in the violent armed robbery he suffered at his home in Castelldefels in his final days as a Barça player.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel joked about it when asked if Aubameyang could have his masked ‘superhero’ moment if he scores on his debut at Zagreb’s Maksimir Stadium.
“Don’t put ideas in Auba’s head, please, no more ideas,” Tuchel replied. “I’m pretty sure he has his own. When he scores, he can celebrate whatever he wants, but he needs to score first.”
Batman, Spiderman, Black Panther…
Although this mask is for medical purposes, Aubameyang has distinguished himself in the past by celebrating causes by wearing masks of iconic comic book heroes, such as Batman, Spiderman and Black Panther. The Gabonese striker explained that he wears them to make his children happy.
Tuchel will decide whether to play Aubameyang depending on how he trains today, but he will not play a full game in any match. Ready to get started? Of course. But he won’t be able to play 90 minutes,” assured the Chelsea coach.
“It’s up to us to decide how to manage the minutes. He needs minutes to be in full form and rhythm. It’s up to us to find a solution if he comes off the bench or starts.”
