Germany star playmaker Mesut Ozil played the full 90 minutes yesterday during this sides 1-0 defeat at the hands of Mexico.
However, the 29-year-old inclusion in Joachim Low’s starting eleven has been a topic of controversy among Arsenal fans on social media.
Ozil missed the final weeks of Arsenal’s season with a back injury and was a doubt for Germany due to a knee problem.
Several Gunners fans took to Twitter to state that Ozil works harder for his nation that he does his club. The star playmaker played a starring role for Germany during their World Cup triumph back in 2014 in Brazil.
