Gabon's key players Aubameyang, Bouanga, and Lemina show strong club form

At 37, Aubameyang scored on his return to La Liga with Deportivo La Coruña, netting the club's first goal of the season against Elche in a 1-1 draw. The question remains whether he can maintain this form throughout the season. Denis Bouanga, 31, consistently performs for Los Angeles FC, recently scoring an equalizer against Portland.

He has been extended until 2028 and is noted for being the first MLS player to score at least 20 goals in three consecutive seasons. Mario Lemina, 32, has regained a starting position at Galatasaray, playing 66 minutes in a 4-0 victory against Erzurumspor. He is under contract until 2027-2028.

While their individual performances are strong, their ages Aubameyang 37, Lemina 32, Bouanga 31 highlight that a significant portion of the national team's experience relies on players in the latter stages of their careers, raising questions about future talent development for the Panthères.
