Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told Gabon captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to take sleeping in a Gambian airport as an experience.

The Panthers arrived in Banjul for their 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against the Gambia late on Sunday night but they were delayed at the airport by immigration officials.

The delay forced Gabon players and coaching crew to sleep on the floor until 5:00 on Monday, a situation Aubameyang likened to being a hostage.

The unpleasant reception made Gabon coach Patrice Neveu worried about Aubameyang’s future invitation to the national team which might be blocked by Arsenal.

When asked if the claims were right, Arteta said via Football London: “No [he's not right]. Obviously, it was a shock to see a full squad sleeping the way they were doing.

“I always believe that everybody's trying to do their best and the Gabon national team are trying to organise things the best possible way. Sometimes unpredictable things happen and it was an experience.

“I said to Auba, 'Take it as an experience. I'm sure for many months or years you haven't slept on the floor, take it from there and just make sure when you're in your bed, you know how good it is, how comfortable is it and how lucky you are' and that's it.

“You cannot change it, you cannot rewind it so take it the way it is and move on. I hope that the next time it doesn't happen and that our players have the rest that they need.”

Gabon lost the match in the Gambia 2-1, and they dropped to the second place while their hosts claimed Group D top spot.

A few days before Monday’s trip, Aubameyang sealed the Panthers’ 2-1 victory over Tom Saintfiet’s side at Stade de Franceville.

He is back from international duty and he is in contention to feature when Arteta's men visit Leeds United for Sunday’s Premier League fixture.

The 31-year-old has scored two goals in eight league appearances for Arsenal, who are 11th in the Premier League table.

U.S. President Joe Biden and Nigeria's President Buhari Biden  snubs Buhari in first calls to Africa The sidestepping of Nigeria is seen as reflective of the country’s declining global appeal. By Ini Ekott     March 3, 2021   4 min read U.S. President Joe Biden made his first call to an African leader last week, apparently choosing not to speak to Nigeria’s President Buhari, an omission experts say reflects not only America’s diplomatic priorities but Nigeria’s estimation at a time the continent’s largest democracy faces staggering domestic problems. Mr Biden reached out to Africa Thursday after more than a month in office and a flurry of phone calls to American allies around the world. He spoke to President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, while Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to President Félix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday. Mr Biden had earlier spoken to President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa in November 2020, days after his election. The ...
