Arsenal 'in breach of Premier League captaincy rule'
Wednesday 5 April 2017 00:13, UK
Arsenal appear to have broken a Premier League rule after failing to nominate a captain in the second half of Sunday's game against Manchester City.
Laurent Koscielny led the side in the first half for the 2-2 draw at the Emirates but came off at half-time and did not appear to have been replaced by a nominated skipper for the second half.
Under Premier League Rule M.11, a captain must wear an armband at all times.
An Arsenal spokesperson told Sky Sports News HQ it is unclear whether there was a captain in the second half but Theo Walcott was the senior player on the pitch.

Sky sources understand if there has been a breach, the Premier League will remind Arsene Wenger's side of the requirements and take no further action.
Gunners captain Per Mertesacker is currently injured, as well as vice-captains Santi Cazorla and Petr Cech.
