Jan 24 (Reuters) - Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said he is unsure if skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be available for their Premier League trip to Southampton on Tuesday as the Gabon international striker deals with a personal matter. Aubameyang missed Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup fourth-round defeat by Southampton which knocked the holders out of the competition. Asked by reporters later if Aubameyang would be ready for their league clash against the Saints, Arteta said: "I don't know. Aubameyang had signed a new three-year deal in September after guiding Arsenal to the FA Cup title last season, ending speculation over a potential exit from the London side. Spaniard Arteta said he was disappointed by their FA Cup exit thanks to Gabriel's first-half own goal.
