Arsenal have suspended academy coaches Steve Gatting and Carl Laraman amid allegations of bullying.

The Gunners have taken swift action after learning of the accusations aimed at their two coaches.

An Arsenal spokesman confirmed: 'We have suspended two coaches and launched an investigation following complaints from some players.

'These are private matters and we will not discuss any further detail.' Gatting and Laraman, who look after Arsenal's U23's, are now subject of an internal investigation.

The pair were due to take charge of the U23's in their Premier League International Cup final against Porto on Tuesday, but were not in the dugout.

And it has now emerged the absence was down to their suspensions over allegations of bullying academy players.
