Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ‘suffers broken jaw’ during violent robbery and could complicate transfer from Barcelona to Chelsea

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has suffered a broken jaw during the violent robbery on his home, according to reports.

The Spanish press reported that four men ‘carrying firearms and iron bars’ broke into the Barcelona star’s home.

Aubameyang’s wife was also threatened before the men made off with several jewels and a white Audi.

The 33-year-old was assaulted in the robbery and The Athletic report that he suffered a broken jaw during a struggle with the intruders.

This is now expected to keep him out for a number of weeks, and the length of his absence will be determined by whether he will have surgery or not.

It is believed that surgery will be the quicker option, rather than to let it heal naturally.

This has potentially complicated matters relating to a potential move back to the Premier League.

Chelsea are in talks with Barcelona over signing the former Arsenal man before Thursday’s deadline.
