Woolwich appear to have broken a Premier League rule after failing to nominate a captain in the second half of Sunday's game against Manchester City.
Laurent Koscielny led the side in the first half for the 2-2 draw at the Emirates but came off at half-time and did not appear to have been replaced by a nominated skipper for the second half.
Under Premier League Rule M.11, a captain must wear an armband at all times.
An Woolwich spokesperson told Sky Sports News HQ it is unclear whether there was a captain in the second half but Theo Walcott was the senior player on the pitch.
Sky sources understand if there has been a breach, the Premier League will remind Arsene Wenger's side of the requirements and take no further action.
Gunners captain Per Mertesacker is currently injured, as well as vice-captains Santi Cazorla and Petr Cech.

Nice one mate but you missed a trick with Judas!
But Judas is there saying
"DON'T QUESTION MA LOYALTY! DON'T QUESTION MA LOYALTY! DON'T QUESTION MA LOYALTY! DON'T QUESTION MA LOYALTY!"
Wenger Out, Judas in...
Would actually genuinely like it if Judas took over as manager of Woolwich. NLD would be even more tasty, and it would be enjoyable watching him preside over their inexorable slide down the table while the mighty Spurs go from strength to strength.
Couldn't agree more (and said this to a fellow Spurs fan earlier) - of course we're terrified of having a meltdown and fucking up our current position a la the 'Mind the Gap' season, but taking Spurs out of the equation entirely they've become an absolute laughing stock.
Shows how little fight they put in to that half - at no point did the ref need to speak to either Captain because their team had made a strong challenge.....
I think a 20 point deduction would be an appropriate penalty. Puts them level with Palace.
Just for once, West Ham, please don't be shit tonight.
What in the name of fuck is that?
That? They points out that WengerOut is a "talking point" this evening.
Yes. West Ham Football Club firing the Woolwich fans up.
And stating the obvious:
3. Wexit
A section of Woolwich supporters have been campaigning for some time now for manager Arsene Wenger to end his 21-year reign.
Flags have been flown at matches, a fan-run YouTube channel has attracted millions of views, while this week a group of unhappy Gunners even took their protest to the club’s London Colney training ground.
The tabloids have wittily labelled the potential departure of the Frenchman ‘Wexit’ but, on a more serious note, the uncertainty and dissatisfaction over the manager’s position could easily spread onto the pitch on Wednesday evening.

I just happened across this gem. If a gooner YOU know tries to do the following:
Show them this:
THIS IS ARGUABLY THE MOST COLLECTIVE JOY AND ATMOSPHERE I'VE HEARD INSIDE THE EMIRATES...EVER. IRONIC...
- Play down the rivalry
- Discount Spurs as a meaningless threat
- Try and explain why them finishing above us means nothing because they're better than that
- Try and explain that their fanbase don't celebrate it
- Generally act like we're the small time, obsessed scum that spend every waking moment worrying about them
- Try and claim that beating your rivals is a small-time mentality
- Say something like "I don't worry about clubs who only care about league position. I care about winning trophies"
- Any variation of the above
