Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain insists the Arsenal locker room is united.

Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was left on the bench against Stoke, with Colombia international David Ospina given a Premier League debut.

Oxlade-Chamberlain felt the 24-year-old had handled the situation with great professionalism.

He said: "I haven't seen any difference in Wojciech. He is always a big part of our squad. He is always a character around the dressing room and he has been no different this week."
