Ozil focused on strength training during his spell on sidelines

Mesut Ozil has increased his strength in order to adapt to the physicality of the Premier League.

Özil played his first game since damaging his knee ligaments during a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in October against Stoke City last Saturday.

The 26-year-old looked noticeably bigger than he was during his previous appearance in October against Chelsea.

The Arsenal playmaker focused on strength training during his spell on sidelines.

The Germany international frequently posted pictures of his training regime while recovering from his injury.

Ozil has made two assists and scored one goal in ten appearances for the North-London based club this season.
