Aurier, despite mourning his brother, somehow picked himself up to play for his side as they beat Newcastle 3-1 on Wednesday, two days after learning of his brother’s death.

The Ivory Coast international remained quiet for the rest of the week but shared a teary photo on Instagram on Friday, July 17.

He shared a photo of himself embracing with his mother, captioning it with a series of black heart emojis.

The defender also revealed he learnt of his brother’s death via a tweet sent to him by a close friend.

“It was 7am. I was in bed at home when a friend sent me the image of a tweet. I asked if he was with his girlfriend. But he had come home and gone out. I had to quickly tell my mother and anticipate it. I stayed in bed all day without moving. It has been a difficult day,” he told La Depeche, a French Publication.

He however insists he has no hatred towards his brother’s killer, adding that he is in a profession which dictates he maintains a level head.

“Today, we have to calm things down. I have no feeling of hatred or revenge. I work in a profession where you have to be calm. I’m calm,” he went on.

Aurier has since jetted back to France to be with his family.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho was among those who were thoroughly impressed by Aurier’s professionalism when he decided to play the game against Newcastle.

The Spurs boss remains unsure whether his fullback will be able to play again this season with only two games to go but said in a presser that he would welcome him back to the squad should he decide to play again in Spurs’ final two fixtures.

Suspect behind the shooting has since turned himself in, something Aurier says was a very “smart” move on his part.

Christopher was said to be a promising footballer having had trials at Brentford in 2011 as well as non-league side Stalybridge Celtic.
