Borussia Dortmund head coach Peter Stoger does not expect Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to leave the Bundesliga club this month despite continued unrest surrounding the striker.
Aubameyang was omitted from the Dortmund squad for Sunday's 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg after missing a team meeting the day before.
The 28-year-old has previously courted interest from Real Madrid and AC Milan, while Arsenal are reported to be the latest club interested in last season's Bundesliga top scorer.
Asked by reporters whether the forward would be punished with extra training, the former Cologne boss replied: "No, if that was a punishment, I would have been there [on the training field] and would be watching him.
"I have the feeling that he is a very stubborn character and is also ambitious. I guess he understood [being dropped]. Let's see how it develops in the next days.
"For me it is just logical [that Aubameyang stays]. I expect everything to be as it was. He is a player of BVB, he trains and he is in our plans for the upcoming match."
Dortmund are back in action on Friday, when they travel to face Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga, and lie fourth in the table following Sunday's stalemate, which was greeted by full-time boos at Signal Iduna Park.
