Latest Arsenal injury update: Arsene Wenger on Mesut Ozil

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil should be fit for the visit of Chelsea next Sunday.

The Germany international was sidelined for the north London side’s goalless draw with Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Ozil was recovering from an inflammation of his foot followingArsenal’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League mid-week.

However, Arsenal manager Wenger reassured concerned supporters that Ozil should be fine when Chelsea make the trip to the Emirates Stadium next weekend.

“I think so. He should be alright. He was not 100 per cent because of an inflammation of his foot. It was nothing too bad. Overall, he should be ready,” Wenger told BBC Radio 5 Live.
