Kolasinac & Ozil keen to consign car-jacking horror to the past

The Arsenal pair were threatened by weapon-wielding thugs in July and the Bosnian wants to move on from the incident.

Arsenal full-back Sead Kolasinac has admitted that an attempted car-jacking that involved team-mate Mesut Ozil back in July was "mentally hard", but did not want to go into specifics as he and the German look to put the nightmarish incident behind them.

“I'm happy to be back,” the 26-year-old told the press. “Of course, mentally it was hard.

“We also missed training for a couple of days. I made up for that [though]. I'm happy to be back with the team and [ready to] perform with them on the pitch.

“I don't want to talk about what happened in detail,” he added. “It happened and now it's something that belongs in the past. The same with Mesut.

“We are back and we are focused on our job and the team. We have a very important match ahead here in Frankfurt.”
