It's been a while since Mesut Ozil's last appearance for Arsenal. To be clear it was in a 1-1 draw against Wolves at the Emirates Stadium before the final international break of the year.
As Ozil was being left out of the squad, Unai Emery later explained that the player had an injury (back problem).
So when will Ozil be back in action? Judging by his tweet he is working very hard and he'll be back as soon as he can.
Tweet reads:
"Still working hard to come back as soon as possible after my back injury. Special thanks to our fitness coach Shad Forsythe for the support every day"
