Arsene Wenger Explains What Happened In Arsenal's Dressing Room After Bayern Thumping

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger has clarified what actually happned in Arsenal's dressing room after heavy claims of a bust-up between his players.











A number of reports suggested Alexis Sanchez was involved in a heated debate with some of his team-mates after yet another frustrating Champions League evening.
Fans also fought among themselves in the stands over manager Arsene Wenger’s future.
But the Arsenal boss has explained what actually happened between the players in the dressing room.
"No. Not at all," Wenger stated at a news conference when asked whether an incident took place.
"Everybody was deeply disappointed, but there was no incident in the dressing room, apart from a huge sadness and disappointment," said the Frenchman.
"We played against a good Bayern team and sometimes you have to give credit to the opponent as well.
“I feel a big responsibility. I’ve been here 20 years…and on a night like that of course I hate defeat. I hate to lose games.
“A defeat like that, it was difficult to take but we have the strength and the experience to respond to it.”
Sanchez was pictured at Heathrow Airport the morning after the defeat, raising really huge doubt about the starman's committing his future to the club with his contract due to expire in 2018 and a renewal yet to be agreed.










However, Wenger clarified the Chile international was handed a brief break ahead of a court case in Barcelona and will resume training at the weekend.
"Alexis has a court case in Barcelona," the Arsenal boss added.
"He will be back in training Saturday."
Arsenal will be looking to return to winning ways in Monday's FA Cup encounter with Sutton United, but may have to make do without the services of Laurent Koscielny, with the centre-back to undergo a scan after suffering an apparent hamstring injury against Bayern.
"Kos will have a scan Friday," Wenger continued.
"Otherwise it will be a normal team against Sutton. I gave young players a chance against Southampton [in the previous round] and one or two might have an opportunity again."
"There was no incident in the dressing room, apart from a huge sadness and disappointment,” said the 67-year-old Frenchman.
