Giving his view on the incident, manager Mikel Arteta was not happy with the fact it had been leaked to the media what took in between practice.

“I don’t like the fact that that incident comes out at all,” he said.

“I will find out where it is coming from and if that is the case, that goes completely against what I expect from each other, the privacy and the confidentiality that we need, and there will be consequences.

“Training is very competitive and issues happen a lot of times. Those things get resolved immediately within the team and there is not much to say.

“There is no problem at all.”
