Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s latest masked goal-celebration is reportedly set to cost him a fine of at least 50,000 euros after again falling offside with his club Borussia Dortmund. The 27-year-old Gabon hot-shot hit his 24th Bundesliga goal this season in Saturday’s 1-1 away draw against Schalke and celebrated by pulling on an black-and-orange wrestling mask.
The latest stunt came after he also wore Spiderman and Batman masks to celebrate goals for Dortmund in August 2014 and February 2015 respectively. But what first appeared to be harmless fun in Gelsenkirchen against Schalke soon emerged to have been part of a marketing strategy. According to German daily Bild, his masked celebration will result in a five-figure fine, because the mask he donned against Schalke is the same one he wore while filming an advert for his private sponsor Nike. The main problem is that rival sportswear brand Puma are shareholders in Borussia Dortmund.
Aubameyang is already in trouble with Dortmund’s bosses for having the distinctive Nike logo shaved into his head last month. Aubameyang will meet with the club’s bosses after today’s home league game against Hamburg to be told any similar stunt will lead to a drastically increased fine. 
Puma, who hold a 5% share in Dortmund, say they hope the club will react. Aubayemang, who has said he one day wants to play for Real Madrid, has a Dortmund contract until 2020, but he twice hinted at the start of the year that he is considering leaving at the end of the season.

Toulouse sack pellet gun attack pair
Toulouse have sacked two of their players who shot a man with a plastic pellet, the French topflight side’s president announced yesterday. 
The victim told French TV he had been walking in Toulouse on February 11 when a car pulled up alongside him and a shot was fired, the pellet hitting him in the ear. Teenage forward Odsonne Edouard was detained for questioning by police last week.
On-loan from Paris Saint-Germain the 19-year-old was identified from his car number plate on CCTV footage. His teammate Mathieu Cafaro later stepped forward to admit being the one who fired the shot, Edouard’s lawyer said. The incident has incensed their club. 
Edouard, loaned out to Toulouse for one season, had told police that he was the sole occupant of the car, confessing to the shooting. But 20-year-old midfielder Cafaro has since taken responsibility.  
Edouard, who is out on bail ahead of a court appearance on June 13,, was top scorer at the 2015 under-17’s European Championships won by France.
