Aubameyang was relieved of his role as the Gunners’ captain on Tuesday after being accused of disciplinary breach.
Tuchel told reporters: “I will, I will at some point. But, you know, I don’t want to also disturb [him].”

“I can only say the best things about Auba as a player and as a person.”
“I feel sorry for him that he’ s in trouble. This is not where he should be with his kind of quality and the positive character that he has – and I still believe in that.”
“But I’m not involved, and I’m not involved in what’ s going on at his club now, and for this I also want to show my respect [to Arsenal] and not be involved and not judge what is right and wrong.”
“I just have my picture and my relationship with Auba and this is not affected by that.”
