Arsenal ace Mesut Ozil and Turkey international Caglar Soyuncu have yet to put out a statement pledging their support.

Premier League clubs previously said they would discuss the possibility of players taking a 30 percent wage cut in order to protect jobs.

The league is currently postponed indefinitely because of the Covid-19 crisis.

Gundogan is currently in self-isolation at home in Manchester.
