DORTMUND star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been dropped for their clash against Wolfsburg due to "disciplinary reasons".
The German club confirmed they will return from the winter break without their top scorer in a shock move.
Aubameyang has scored 21 goals in 23 games this season but speculation over his future has been a distraction.
He has been linked with both Liverpool and Arsenal, as well as a big-money Chinese Super League switch.
And his latest punishment will only serve to increase exit suggestions.
Reports have suggested the decision came after Aubameyang failed to turn up to a team meeting.
