Arsenal defender Sol Campbell has no "personal problems" and will be back in training on Monday, according to a statement released by his solicitor.

The England centre-back has not been seen since walking out of Highbury at half-time of their 3-2 Premiership defeat to West Ham on Wednesday.

Speculation has been rife about what exactly was wrong with Campbell, with team-mate Robert Pires claiming he had "a big worry on the private side".
