Hector Bellerin sent a message to Arsenal fans that it was ‘time to lift each other up, not push each other away’.
The tweet by the Gunners full-back appears to be in response to supporters booing captain Granit Xhaka during their 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Xhaka was jeered at the Emirates while being substituted and it prompted him to cup his ears, appear to swear and storm off down the tunnel.
Lucas Torreira was pictured close to tears because of the treatment of his team-mate while three players were said to have visited his home after the match as they were concerned about him.
Bellerin posted a message on his Twitter account urging for the club to come together.
We are all humans, we all have emotions, and sometimes it's not easy dealing with them. It's time to lift each other up, not to push each other away. We only win when we are together. #COYG pic.twitter.com/dkDI7M3xew

He said: “We are all humans, we all have emotions, and sometimes it’s not easy dealing with them. It’s time to lift each other up, not to push each other away.
“We only win when we are together.”
Speaking about the incident, Emery told talkSPORT: “He was wrong, he was wrong.
“But we are going to speak to him and then inside with the club. He was wrong.”
When asked if Xhaka would remain as the club’s skipper, Emery said: “We are going to speak about that with him.
“He was very hot at that moment and he was rash and he was wrong.”
