Mikel Arteta has revealed he has held clear-the-air talks with captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and 'everything has been resolved' after he was dropped last weekend.

The Gabonese striker was a surprise omission from the Arsenal side to face Tottenham in Sunday's north London derby.

He was dropped by Arteta for arriving late and he remained an unused substitute as Arsenal ran out 2-1 winners.

Aubameyang is facing a fine to go with his benching, following his breach of club rules, as this is not the first time he has been late but Arteta has now said the issue is resolved and he is back in contention ahead of facing Olympiacos in the last-16 of the Europa League.
