Kepa Arrizabalaga, the goalkeeper for Chelsea, has discussed Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang’s reaction to Thomas Tuchel’s dismissal.
The Spanish goalkeeper claimed that once the club’s owners decided to fire the German, the Gabon international was left in a “state of disbelief.”
On a hectic deadline day, the former captain of Arsenal made his way from Barcelona, a team he joined in February, to Chelsea.
After spending a wonderful time with Thomas Tuchel at Borussia Dortmund, Aubameyang was looking forward to rekindling their connection.
After Chelsea’s 1-0 loss against Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League debut, Tuchel was fired.
Following a frightening robbery at his former family home in Barcelona that left him with a broken jaw last month, Aubameyang was compelled to wear a protective mask when playing his debut game at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday against Salzburg.
When asked how Aubameyang had adjusted to life at his new club, Kepa said, “He was a little in shock, a lot of change, the last two or three days were quite chaotic for him, everything that occurred to him was a catastrophe.
