Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira has leapt to the defence of Granit Xhaka, saying he "deserves respect".
The 27-year-old Switzerland international was stripped of the captaincy following an altercation with fans against Crystal Palace and has not featured for the first team since.
Vieira says he feels sorry for Xhaka because he was the captain and he is going through a really difficult period and really difficult time at Arsenal.
He says he thinks they have to remind ourselves that he has achieved a lot since he has been at Arsenal and he deserves a lot of respect.
