Arsene Wenger has labelled reports of a training ground bust-up with Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez as "completely false".

The Chile international was a surprise omission from the Gunners' starting line-up in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, a decision for which Wenger drew widespread criticism.

Reports later emerged that Wenger made that call following Sanchez leaving the training pitch mid-session leading to a heated exchange with team-mates.
