Ozil has yet to make a single appearance for the Gunners since the league restarted following coronavirus disruptions.
The playmaker of Turkish origin was initially left out of the squad due to injury but he missed the last game due to a back injury.

“Players that are ready to help each other, fight for each other and enjoy playing together. That is what I mean by being in the boat. If you behave like this every day you are very, very welcome here and we want to get the best out of you and help you to enjoy your profession with us.”
