Arsenal boss Arteta urges fans: Let's pay respect to Auba

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta urged fans not to barrack Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang upon his return with Chelsea tonight.

Blues manager Frank Lampard has confirmed the former Arsenal captain is fit for the game.

Arteta fell out with Aubameyang last season before the striker had his contract terminated in January 2022.

Speaking ahead of the clash, Arteta said: "Let's say thank you, pay respect and gratitude for what he was.

"He was an incredible player for us, scored a lot of goals, he was our captain, and he deserves that."
