Arsenal boss Wenger seeks to ease Ramsey tension with Wales

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has attempted to ease tension with Wales coach Chris Coleman today.

Wenger is unhappy that Aaron Ramsey played the full 90 minutes of Wales's Euro 2016 qualifier against Andorra on October 13 - a dead rubber considering Wales had already qualified.

Ramsey made two starts following that game before suffering a hamstring injury against Bayern Munich a fortnight ago.

But Wenger had indicated Ramsey's international commitments had played a role, prompting Coleman to say: "Our job is hard enough as managers without us having a chip at each other, especially a cheap shot which is exactly what it was."

Wenger responded on Friday by saying: "I didn't blame anybody. I said it would make common sense to not use Gareth Bale or Ramsey once they have qualified, just bring on for 20 minutes to thank everybody. I don't believe there is anything spectacular.

"I didn't see (Coleman's comments) so I cannot say too much about that.

"I said I cannot call all managers. I didn't blame him especially. I just analyse the reasons players get injured and you always think if a player can get one game less in a period like that it is all right."
