“Mesut was sick until today,” Wenger told reporters.
“It was his first training session today. He was in bed on Monday and Tuesday with sickness.
“I would certainly have played him but because he was sick he will have to work hard tomorrow and he will not be involved.”
Mesut Ozil recently penned a new three-year contract with Arsenal putting an end to months of speculation linking him with a Gunners exit.
The 29-year-old played a starring role during his sides 3-0 win over Ostersunds in Sweden a week ago.
Ozil was also spotted in Istanbul over the weekend alongside his girlfriend Amine Gulse.
