Granit Xhaka has denied racially abusing a staff member at Heathrow Airport, according to Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman spoke to the media ahead of Saturday's FA Cup clash with Southampton and opened up on Xhaka, who was sent off in Arsenal's clash with Burnley on Sunday and on Monday was accused of directing racial abuse at a member of staff at the airport. He said:

There are two incidents that have been talked about.
