Mikel Arteta has dismissed any problems between Arsenal assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg and Declan Rice following their heated row. The duo were captured arguing in the tunnel at Stamford Bridge with Rice visibly frustrated, though Arteta has insisted the problem has been resolved.
He said on Friday: "All sorted, all good. The good thing is that the time I find out, the problem was resolved." Video footage of their rather animated disagreement emerged following the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg victory over Chelsea.
In that clip, Rice can be seen throwing his arms up in the air at Stuivenberg with Gabriel Magalhaes forced to step intervene in an attempt calm things down.
