Arsene Wenger rubbishes talk of a rift between Alexis Sanchez and rest of Arsenal squad
Emirates boss says there has never been any issues in the team after they were held to a 1-1 draw against West Brom
ARSENE WENGER has rubbished talk of a rift between Alexis Sanchez and the rest of the Arsenal squad.
And the Emirates boss insists there has never been any issues between the Chilean and the team.
Sanchez's deflected free-kick put the Gunners ahead against West Brom but Jay Rodriguez converted from the spot on 89 minutes to give Alan Pardew's side a draw.
But that was not the case against the Baggies.
And a frosty Wenger dismissed the notion that players were purposely not celebrating with his star man.

Wenger recently said that Sanchez's future is "not my problem".
The striker remains a Manchester City target - and could be in line for a move with injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kevin De Bruyne.
