Borussia Dortmund have dropped their striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to disciplinary reasons.

Aubameyang was not included in the squad for Friday night’s match at Stuttgart, but the club did not give details on the ”disciplinary reasons” in a social media post.

The Gabon striker was left out of the squad last November in a Champions League

match against Sporting Lisbon for “internal reasons”, which makes this saga not the first of the player in a case such as this.

Dortmund sits back at Signal Iduna Park to welcome Tottenham in the Champions League on Tuesday followed by a league match against rivals Schalke on Saturday.

Aubameyang is the club’s top scorer this season in all competitions with 15 goals but has faced goal drought as he has not scored in the last five games. He was linked with a move from Signal Iduna Park last summer with Chelsea, ACMilan as well as Manchester City interested.

Dortmund heads south in search of a much-needed victory after taking just a single point from their last four Bundesliga outings.

Having topped the table at the start of the campaign, Peter Bosz's charges are now six points behind leaders Bayern Munich following their 3-1 Klassiker defeat on Match day 11.

Christian Pulisic and Raphael Guerreiro should be well rested after staying in Dortmund during the international break, while Andre Schürrle is another attacking option after recovering from injury.

Somebody tell me why Victor Moses shouldn't win the BBC African footballer of the year?
