Arsenal star Mesut Ozil was left on the bench for the FA Cup 5th Round replay against Hull City.

The Gunners beat the Championship side 4-0 at the KC stadium and Ozil quick to take to social media to praise his teammates.

The World Cup winner also wished Per Mertesacker, Gabriel and Aaron Ramsey a swift recovery alongside the emoji depicting somebody praying.

The north London based club lost both Gabriel and Per Mertesacker to injury against Hull, leaving them without their three most senior centre-backs at a critical stage in the season.

Ramsey replaced Mertesacker but picked up a thigh injury himself towards the end of the game.

The Gunners booked a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals following their victory over Hull City but will have little time to rest as they take on Watford in the Premier League followed by Barcelona in the Champions League.

Ozil was rested against Hull as was fellow star player Alexis Sanchez and both will be available on the weekend.
