Mesut Ozil would not have been in Arsenal’s squad to face Everton even if he was not carrying a knock, says Freddie Ljungberg, with the World Cup winner once again paying the price for inconsistency.

Explaining the German’s absence for a trip to Goodison Park, the Gunners’ interim boss told BT Sport: “Mesut has something on his foot.

“He wouldn't have been in the squad anyway after what happened in the last game.”
