Mesut Ozil not expected to feature for Arsenal until January 14

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Mesut Ozil is not expected to feature for the Gunners until at least January 14.

The French stated that Ozil is no closer to a return to first-team action as the playmaker remains sidelined through illness.

Ozil missed the Gunners 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace and was also sidelined during Arsenal’s 3-3 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday evening.

Wenger confirmed that Ozil is likely to miss this weekends FA Cup clash with Preston. The 28-year-old is also a doubt for the Gunners trip to Wales next week where they will take on Swansea City in the Premier League.

“He’s not available and I don’t think he will be available for the next game as he hasn’t done anything for a week,” Wenger was quoted as saying by Goal.

Arsenal missed the chance to move up into third place in the league after failing to defeat Bournemouth.The Gunners are currently eight points behind leaders Chelsea who take on Tottenham tonight.

Ozil has been in exceptional form this season with seven assists and nine goals in 23 apperances for the Gunners this term.
