Mikel Arteta has revealed that his Arsenal players had to fend off a sickness bug in order to secure an excellent 2-0 win at Wolves which sent them five points clear at the top of the Premier League table.
Gunners captain Martin Odegaard scored twice to secure all three points at Molineux in their final match before the World Cup, but it wasn't only the home side that Arteta's men were battling. After Granit Xhaka was substituted in mysterious circumstances just 16 minutes to the match, it's emerged that a number of Arsenal players fell ill after eating the same pre-match meal.
"[Xhaka] wasn't feeling good, he was sick and he could not carry on," Arteta explained, speaking to Sky Sports. "Unfortunately, we have another four players with the same symptoms. So, I don't know what exactly happened.
