Denis Suarez has revealed he was only ever half-fit for Arsenal during his miserable loan spell with the club last season.

“At the end of the game I thought that I had torn my groin and they did a scan and saw that I had an oedema [a build-up of fluid] on the bone in my pelvis,” he told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

“I thought I had torn something; I was in a lot of pain. And from then on I carried on training with medication and putting up with it as best I could but I didn’t feel right and [Unai] Emery didn’t think I was right. I wasn’t comfortable.

“I don’t think I was even at 50 per cent. After 15 days of being at Arsenal, I wasn’t right. From the 16th I wasn’t even at 50 per cent.”
