Wilshere calmed by Sagna after disagreement with Flamini (who clashed with Ozil earlier this week)

#askaroundnow
Arsenal have been forced to deny Jack Wilshere and Mathieu Flamini were involved in an embarrassing training ground bust-up ahead of their home clash with Sunderland this weekend.
The midfield duo were pictured in an apparent disagreement at the club's training ground base just 24 hours before Arsenal host the Black Cats in their Premier League clash.
Bacary Sagna was on hand to diffuse the situation by approaching Wilshere before putting his arm around the England midfielder.

Arsenal have since moved to insist the pair were not arguing, but instead joking following a keep-ball session at their London Colney base.
And Wilshere later attempted to play down the incident, tweeting: 'Just read I had a 'bust up' in training today! That's news to me! Anyway....who would mess with Flamini? #Nutter'.
The heated discussion between the two Arsenal stars comes only days after Flamini was involved in a very public spat with Mesut Ozil in their side's 2-0 defeat against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium.
The French midfielder tore into Ozil, apparently accusing the £42.5million signing of a lack of effort.
The flashpoint came in the second half after a Bayern move broke down and the ball is collected from behind the goal by Lukasz Fabianski.
Ozil points his finger accusingly in the direction of defender Laurent Koscielny but is given a stern rebuke by Flamini, leading to a little bit of pushing and shoving between the pair.

Friday's incident was captured by the club's photographer Stuart MacFarlane, who, tweeted: 'How can people make up stories about what happened in a training session when they weren't even there? Absolute joke.'
Meanwhile, Ozil was today urged not dwell on his penalty miss against Bayern Munich by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
The Gunners' club-record signing apologised via Facebook for what proved to be a costly error when his chipped spot-kick was saved by German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer after eight minutes in the Champions League last 16 first leg clash.
The Bundesliga side went on to win 2-0 after goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sent off for clattering Arjen Robben in the box. Although their resultant penalty was also missed, second-half goals from Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller all but ended Arsenal's European ambitions for another season.

Ozil made a promising start following his £42.5m signing from Real Madrid at the end of the summer transfer window, but has struggled to make an impact in the last few months. 

Wenger says the latest setback must not be allowed to play on the Germany international's mind.
'Is he over it now? Certainly not, because 48 hours is a short time to get over that, but it is part of the job as well to deal with disappointment and to show that you can respond to it,' the Arsenal manager said ahead of Saturday's clash against Sunderland.
'He apologised after the game, but I don't think people are shocked by the fact that he missed a penalty because Bayern missed a penalty as well.
'He takes his penalties in an unusual way so people are maybe a little bit less understanding, but everybody can miss penalties.
'It is his way, you accept it or not. It's his way of taking penalties like that.'
