Mikel Arteta insists Granit Xhaka's decision to snub the captain's armband against Brentford was a misunderstanding.
The Swiss midfielder, who is a part of Arsenal's "leadership group", seemingly refused to wear the armband after skipper Alexandre Lacazette was taken off in the second half as the Gunners secured a 2-1 win over Thomas Frank's men at the Emirates.
Eddie Nketiah tried to hand Xhaka the armband as he replaced the Frenchman with five minutes to go, but Xhaka appeared to turn his offer down.
