Granit Xhaka's decision to snub the captain's armband against Brentford will only add more fuel to the fire over his uncertain Arsenal future.
The Swiss midfielder refused to wear the armband after Alexandre Lacazette was taken off in the second half as the Gunners secured a 2-1 win over the Bees.
Eddie Nketiah tried to hand Xhaka the armband as he replaced the Frenchman with five minutes to go, but the midfielder point-blank rejected it.
