Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will miss Gabon's final Africa Cup of Nations match due to a thigh injury, effectively ending his 16-year international career without a farewell game. The Gabon Football Federation, in consultation with his club Olympique de Marseille, decided to exempt him from the inconsequential match following disappointing tournament results and his discomfort after the Mozambique game. Aubameyang, Gabon's talisman, scored 39 goals in 82 caps.
