Why Mesut Ozil is out for Arsenal’s clash with Leicester City

  /  autty

Mesut Ozil's absence for Arsenal against Leicester City today will have raised one or two eyebrows, but there's a perfectly reasonable explanation.

While Unai Emery has often left Ozil out of his Gunners side this season, the German has enjoyed more playing time in the second half of the campaign.

And, according to the official Arsenal Twitter feed, Ozil is only missing today because of a foot injury, with Nacho Monreal also out of action for fitness reasons as he has a calf problem.
