Injured Aubameyang to Miss Gabon’s First Game at Cup of Nations

Aubameyang suffered a thigh injury during a Ligue 1 match and will miss Gabon's opener against Cameroon but might play in later group matches depending on recovery scans.

  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will miss Gabon's opening Africa Cup of Nations match on December 24, 2025, but is expected to recover for the next two Group F games, possibly returning December 28, 2025.
  • Forced off during Olympique de Marseille's win over AS Monaco on Sunday, Aubameyang remains in France as Marseille medical staff requested treatment after consulting Gabonese Football Federation doctors.
  • Scans subsequently allayed fears of a lengthy lay-off for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Gabon's all-time top scorer with 38 goals in 79 appearances.
  • Metz centre back Michel Mboula is doubtful with a thigh injury, forcing a likely change in Gabon defence as both Group F games are scheduled in Agadir, Morocco.
  • With Aubameyang sidelined for the opener, coaches will rely on young defenders Jacques Ekomie and Urie-Michel Mboula while head coach Thierry Mouyouma named a 28-man squad headlined by 36-year-old Aubameyang, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Mario Lemina, and Dennis Bouanga.
