Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's £60m move to Arsenal put on hold as Gabon forward is recalled for Hertha Berlin match
- Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is in the squad to face Hertha Berlin on Friday
- The Dortmund striker is expected to secure a £60m move to Arsenal in January
- Aubameyang was suspended for the 0-0 with Wolfsburg by boss Peter Stoger
- He failed to report to a team meeting as he tries to force through a move away
Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will have to wait to finalise his anticipated move to Arsenal as he has been included in the Dortmund squad to face Hertha Berlin on Friday.
Dortmund boss Peter Stoger suspended the Gabon striker for the 0-0 with Wolfsburg on Sunday after he failed to report for a team meeting - his third suspension in 12 months.
And despite Aubameyang appearing all set to leave the Westfalenstadion for the Emirates Stadium this month, he is expected to spearhead the Dortmund attack against Hertha Berlin.

The Gabonese was suspended by manager Peter Stoger last week for missing a team meeting
Aubameyang has agreed personal terms over a move to north London as Arsene Wenger looks to bolster his attacking options with the departure of Alexis Sanchez imminent.
The Chile international is due to be finalised as a Manchester United player with Wenger looking to bring Aubameyang and former Dortmund team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan in to fill the void.
But any hope fans had that a move could be finalised in time for him to feature against Crystal Palace on Saturday faded with the announcement he is set to face Hertha Berlin.

The 28-year-old has netted 141 times in 212 games in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund
Aubameyang has established himself as one of Europe's most dangerous attackers since he swapped Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne for Dortmund.
The 28-year-old has netted 141 times in 212 games in all competitions for Dortmund and with Arsenal lacking a cutting edge up front, the big-money move is seen as a way to add goals to the Gunners.
Dortmund are fourth in the Bundesliga and embroiled in a fierce battle to secure Champions League qualification next season with RB Leipzig, Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen.
