‘No Sanchez, No Ozil, No Koscielny No Problem’ – Arsenal fans react on Twitter to beating Chelsea without star players
Arsenal beat Chelsea in the Community Shield at Wembley today to win their second piece of silverware in 2017. Ozil was there as a fan today urging his side on.
The Gunners beat the Premier League champions on penalties with Courtois and summer signing Morata missing their spot kick efforts.
Playmaker of Turkish origin Mesut Ozil missed the clash after picking up an ankle injury before the clash.
In fact star players Alexis Sanchez and Laurent Koscielny both missed the game.
Despite missing three key players the North London outfit were still able to beat Chelsea.
We took a look at how Arsenal fans reacted on social media to beating the Blues despite missing the likes of Ozil and Sanchez.

It may not be a great performance but we were without Kos, Mustafi, Alexis, Ozil, Ramsey. The new group of players played today. Proud♥️

Even if it’s a glorified friendly beating Chelsea without Alexis, Ozil, Koscielny, Cazorla, Mustafi and Ramsey is kinda impressive lol

Given absence of Ozil, Sanchez, Ramsey, Koscielny, etc. it’s been a positive performance for Arsenal, regardless of shootout result.

Chelsea fans appeared quite concerned that they lose to an Arsenal side not featuring Ozil.
Arsenal team without Sanchez and Ozil defeated us. This is a clear indication we need top class signings…

It appears Ozil was rested and that his reported ankle injury is nothing serious. The Arsenal star should be ready to start for his side in the Premier League.
Koscielny is suspended for the first two games of the season and Sanchez should be available.
Told Ozil (ankle) and Ramsey (calf) absences are purely precautionary ahead of Leicester. Sanchez and Mustafi just not being risked yet.
