Arsene Wenger was hugely criticised for leaving his top scorer on the bench, with the Frenchman saying post-match that it was only due to tactical reasons.
However, came that it was due to the massive fall-out at the club’s training ground that seriously jeopardised their preparations for the trip to Anfield.
It is alleged that the 17-goal top scorer walked out midway through a session last week, which led to a number of his team-mates confronting him.

It’s then claimed that a row erupted back in the locker rooms over Sanchez’s attitude, leading to Wenger to make the decision to drop him.
The Chilean has come under scrutiny on a number of occasions over his temperament, such as when he threw his gloves to the floor and stormed down the tunnel following the 3-3 draw with Bournemouth in January.
SunSport revealed earlier how Wenger and Sanchez’s relationship is at an all-time low.
Following a number of blazing rows between the pair, the 28-year-old looks certain to leave the club this summer.
Wenger has a huge decision to make on whether he recalls him for their Champions League second-leg clash at home to Bayern Munich on Tuesday, which they trail 5-1 from the first meeting in Germany.
Fellow Arsenal star Mesut Ozil missed the weekend’s defeat with illness.
However, the Telegraph claim that the German star would also have found himself named on the bench.
Ozil, also 28, has dipped dramatically in form.
He too has yet to agree a new deal at the Emirates, with the pair out of contract in 2018.
