Unai Emery claims Aaron Ramseys confused state of mind played a part in his decision to leave the Arsenal star out of his side on a regular basis earlier this season.
The Wales international began the campaign as a mainstay of Emerys new-look team but, amid uncertainty surrounding his future, Ramsey failed to start a single Premier League game between October 7 and December 5.
Emery reportedly advised Arsenal to withdraw a contract offer made to the scorer of two FA Cup final winning goals and the 28-year-old subsequently agreed a deal to sign for Juventus, who he is set to join in the summer.
Despite his future lying elsewhere, Ramsey had re-established himself as a key component of an Arsenal team that has reached the semi-finals of the Europa League and is closing in on a top four finish in the Premier League, before he sustained a hamstring injury against Napoli on Thursday which will rule him out of action for up to three weeks.
