Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka has been active on social media since Sunday's blow-up with fans.

After the Swiss FA pledged to support Xhaka, the former Borussia Monchengladbach man has opted to change his profile image - leaving Arsenal fans to speculate over what it means for his future.

Xhaka appears to have deleted his previous profile photo - an image of him wearing the captain's armband for Arsenal - and replaced it with one of him in a Switzerland jersey, says the London Evening Standard.

The change will do little to downplay the prospect of Xhaka being stripped of the captaincy.

However, Gunners boss Unai Emery insists he remains his captain.
