Aubameyang, Iwobi wish injured Welbeck well

The England international suffered a horrific injury and the African players have sent a message of recovery to the strike.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Iwobi have wished their fellow Arsenal teammate Danny Welbeck well following the injury he sustained in their 0-0 stalemate with Sporting Lisbon in Thursday’s Europa League game.

The 27-year-old was stretched off at the half-hour mark after he landed badly on his ankle while contesting with Sporting’s Bruno Gaspar and was replaced by Aubameyang.

However, the severity of the injury and when to be sidelined are yet unknown, but the Nigeria and Gabon internationals have taken to the social media to wish their teammate quick recovery.

"Doesn’t always go your way, but we will always fight. Thanks for the support again. Wishing my bro Danny Welbeck a speedy recovery,” Iwobi wrote on Instagram.

“Get well soon my brother Danny Welbeck,” Aubameyang posted on Instagram.

Welbeck has netted five times in 14 appearances in all competitions this season but set to miss matches starting with Arsenal’s Premier League game with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.
