The Arsenal manager's future was also a topic of discussion, but it isn't a distraction ahead of Sunday's North London derby
Arsene Wenger dismissed suggestions Alexis Sanchez's reaction to being struck by a Christian Fuchs throw-in during Arsenal's 1-0 win over Leicester City during midweek was an embarrassment.
Chile forward Sanchez attracted criticism and derision for going to ground and holding his face after blocking Fuchs' throw-in at close quarters, despite replays showing the ball struck him on the shoulder.
Sanchez was booked for encroachment and posted a picture on Twitter afterwards, showing him icing a swollen lip – although Wenger reported this came from a separate incident involving Leicester centre-back Robert Huth.
