Arsenal's elimination from the Champions League last week is bringing into sharp focus the rifts within the squad.

Manuel Almunia broke his silence yesterday over the constant jibes from goalkeeper rival Jens Lehmann and the News of the World today says there is also friction between skipper William Gallas and some of the younger players.

And the growing resentment with Nicklas Bendtner was highlighted when only Theo Walcott congratulated him for his goal against Liverpool last weekend.
