Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has returned to training with the Gabon squad ahead of Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations clash with Ghana after testing negative for Covid-19.

 
The 32-year-old and Mario Lemina both tested positive last week and missed Gabon’s opening 1-0 win over Comoros on Monday.

 
However, coach Patrice Neveu is isolating after testing positive according to the Gabonese football federation.

 
Gabon has had a troubled build-up to the biennial continental showpiece tournament.

 
The Gabonese government had to resolve a dispute between the players and the federation over match bonuses while the Confederation of African Football (CAF) scolded them for breaking the rules in changing hotels in Yaounde.
