345Arsenal players Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (L) and Alexandre Lacazette (R) [Photo: Courtesy]Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will not be able to play for Arsenal in the Europa League this season, much to the club's disappointment. Under normal circumstances he would be able to play in the competition, as he isn't cup-tied in the traditional sense, having not kicked a ball in the Europa League. The Europa League would have acted as the perfect stage for Lacazette to rebuild some of his shattered confidence, after losing his place in Arsenal's first team. The Chilean featured for the Gunners in the Europa League, and because there has been no cross over, will play in the Champions League with Manchester United. The Gunners are in round 32 of the Europa League and are seeking to win their first European trophy as well as qualifying for next season’s Uefa Champions League.
