League OneOxford United plan to end midfielder Dan Crowley's season-long loan from Arsenal six months early.
The 19-year-old has scored three goals in 11 games for Oxford, whose manager Michael Appleton recently questioned his professionalism.
"I'm certainly not going to lose sleep if Arsenal have got an issue with Oxford United going forward," Appleton told BBC Radio Oxford.
"The one thing we are, and will always be, is very professional. Nothing and nobody will ever get in the way of what we're trying to do from a team culture and ethos point of view."
