MESUT OZIL HAS moved to calm fears that he could miss the World Cup due to a back injury.
The 29-year-old did not feature in Arsenal’s 5-0 Premier League win over Burnley on Sunday, although he watched on from the stands as the Gunners paid tribute to departing manager Arsene Wenger.
Ozil thinks he will likely sit out their last two league games of the season against Leicester City and Huddersfield Town but is confident he will be fit for Germany’s opening match in Russia against Mexico on June 17.
“It’s a pity I missed yesterday’s match with my back injury. It’ll need some time but I’m sure I’ll fully recover in time for the World Cup,” he wrote on his official Twitter account.
Ozil, who was signed by Wenger from Real Madrid in 2013, went on to describe having played under the Frenchman as “an honour”.
“Once again I’d like to thank our boss,” he said. ”It was an honour playing for you, Mon. Wenger! Thanks for all the memories we shared together.”
Was never going to happen he’s a really top player for Madrid and would be a step down joining Arsenal in terms of winning leagues and champions league.. Also Arsenal are always to scared to spend the money needed for a player like this never going to happen..
If he was to choose arsenal or United I know what one he’d pick..
This got nothing to do with United lol
Spot on Irish.
Must saying Irish… #pedro

He joined Chelsea not Arsenal haha
I know but he should of signed for United ;)
U think he should of? Fair enough I see why bigger club.. Shame United didn’t meet the release clause they may regret it.. Still tho Arsenal still Danny Welback?
Or Welbeck did United get £17million for him?
Welbeck is a great addition to any squad, does a lot of dirty work for the team and is unselfish. He’s not a striker though. He plays better on the left
Well that’s that done. I was never one to believe media hype but I will admit they got me with this one.. F**** you media. But if arsenal don’t get a striker we can forget about challenging for the league
Thank feck that’s over!! Gutted that it’s not happening though! Get the finger out Wenger
