Granit Xhaka Stripped Of Arsenal Captaincy

Arsenal midfielder has been stripped of the club captaincy days after clashing with the Gunners supporters, Arsenal manager Unai Emery said.
Xhaka appeared to swear at Arsenal supporters after his second-half substitution prompted sarcastic cheers and booing during s 2-2 home draw with Crystal Palace, with the 27-year-old cupping his ears, waving his arms angrily and ripping off his shirt before storming down the tunnel.Xhaka has faced calls to be stripped of the Arsenal captaincy and he was left out of last Wednesday’s League Cup defeat at Liverpool after Gunners boss Emery admitted his reaction was wrong.
