Three senior Arsenal players took the time to visit Granit Xhaka’s home after the 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.
Such was the concern for their captain, three unnamed Arsenal players took it upon themselves to check in on the player, according to The Athletic.
Xhaka clashed with supporters after slowly walking off the pitch following a chorus of boos.
After hearing the claims, these Arsenal fans on social media have reacted furiously.

Read Arsenal verdict
Xhaka’s relationship with the Arsenal supporters is turning into a huge problem for the club and it looks like they’ll be forced into taking some serious action.
The fact that three players went to visit the player at his home after the game shows that he is a popular figure within the squad.
If this is the case, the Gunners risk a rift emerging between certain quarters of the club and that isn’t going to help anybody in their quest to get back into the top four.
Xhaka’s recent performances have not been good enough, nor were his actions suitable of a club captain, but this needs to be stopped as quickly as possible for Arsenal’s best interests.
