Mesut Ozil was left out of the Arsenal 25-man Premier League squad selection submitted by head coach Mikel Arteta on Tuesday.
The decision not to include Ozil means that the playmaker will be unable to play for Arsenal until at least January.
Ozil has 12 months left on his current deal and earns £350,000-a-week.
The playmaker has been at Arsenal for eight years but he may just have played his last game for the club.
It is difficult to see how he can break into the team before the end of the season considering he is not even registered to play for the club in any major competition.
