Arsenal fans were given renewed hope of Mesut Ozil’s return to the Gunners first-team after viewing a photo shared by Unai Emery.
The Spanish tactician took the whole squad on a paintballing trip earlier this week. Emery took to social media and shared a photo of the squad.

On closer inspection, Arsenal fans have spotted that Emery is stood beside star playmaker Mesut Ozil. The photo has surfaced amid rumours that there is friction between the pair.

Spirits appear o be high at Arsenal following their 2-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday. The north London based club are back in the race for the top four.
The Gunners are back in action on Friday when they take on Manchester United in the FA Cup. Arsenal’s next Premier League clash is against Cardiff City on Tuesday.
Ozil is yet to feature for Arsenal in 2019 after suffering a back injury. The former Germany international was however on the bench for the Gunners win over Chelsea.
