So much for being lazy! it turns out the 2014 World Cup winner is capable of busting a gut.
Ozil did not provide an assist or score over the weekend but he did create three goal scoring opportunities – more than any other Arsenal player.
The Gunners take on FC Koln in the Europa League next on Thursday.
Ozil has made the squad but Arsene Wenger may decide to rotate his side in Europe this season.
