The German international has not been in any of Arsenal’s game since the restart of the Premier League after the coronavirus pandemic and manager Mikel Arteta has insisted that he has left him out for football reasons.
Efforts to have him leave the club with reported interests from several clubs failed. He will now have to stay at the club without playing any game as his name was not included in the seasons’ squad for the Premier League and the Europa League.

It is a known fact that the manager has the decision of who plays and who does not as he is held responsible for whatever the outcome is. Standing with the club makes you a true friend and fan but backing a player who is not loyal to the club will be regarded as otherwise.
However, Mesut Ozil could be forced to leave in the January transfer window to save his career and also end the saga that places the club in a negative perspective.
