“From Wednesday night, Jack was injured but we had good news. I saw him walking yesterday, he’s not yet out of the game on Sunday,” Wenger told reporters.

Wenger also went into more detail regarding Ozil’s knee injury.
“It’s his knee. He had a swollen knee and a recurrence of what he had two or three weeks ago – that’s why he wasn’t involved on Wednesday,” Wenger stated.
