Aubameyang can cope with AFCON pressure
Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will captain the hosts Gabon at the Africa Cup of Nations. He is one of the most sought after players in the world after scoring 32 goals in 43 games for his club in 2016.
But can he cope with the pressure of leading his nation in front of a home crowd?
When they last hosted the tournament in 2012 he missed a crucial penalty as they were knocked out in the Quarter-Finals.
Speaking to John Bennett the Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr, who was the head coach of Gabon back in 2012, believes the striker will rise to the occasion.
