Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropped by Marseille over fire extinguisher prank

The ex-Chelsea and Dortmund forward has netted nine Ligue 1 strikes this term and featured in nearly all of Marseille's league outings during the 2025/2026 season, logging 29 total matches and clocking 1,957 minutes on the field.

Yet for all his influence on the squad, the Gabon international is sidelined from the upcoming clash with Le Havre, with the Daily Mail citing his conduct as having spiralled out of control.

Accounts indicate that Aubameyang rallied nine fellow players for an unplanned celebration on the fourth evening at their training facility, known as La Commanderie.

The incident followed a steep slump in results, with the team suffering losses in four of their prior six fixtures, placing them on course to forgo Champions League qualification come the following campaign.

In the midst of the revelry, Aubameyang unleashed a fire extinguisher on Bob Tahri, the official tasked with upholding the curfew, as detailed by L'Equipe.

Multiple insiders likened the scene to a "summer camp" outing, leaving various personnel taken aback, based on the disclosures.

Aubameyang has offered his regrets to both Tahri and the club's leadership, yet sources confirm he will be absent for the next encounter owing to this ill-considered escapade.
