Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is coming out of international retirement for Gabon.

Aubameyang has announced he's available again for selection as Gabon seek to qualify for the African Cup of Nations.

The veteran says he decided to end his retirement after a chat with Gabon president Ali Bongo Ondimba.

"(I) listened to the wise words he said to me as a father talking to his son," Aubameyang posted on Instagram.

"A few days ago, I had the immense honour to be received by the President of the Republic (of Gabon) Ali Bongo Ondimba," Aubameyang's post added.

"Following this, I therefore put myself at the disposal of my country and of the coach Patrice Neveu."
