Norwich City boss Neil Adams played down the absence of Ricky van Wolfswinkel for defeat to Arsenal.

Adams maintained there had been no fall out with club-record signing Van Wolfswinkel, who has managed just one goal, and was not in the match-day 18.

"Nothing happened as such. He just wasn't picked," said Adams.

"I didn't see a strop and he didn't refuse to be a substitute."
