Mesut Ozil was reportedly due to attend first-team training with Arsenal on Tuesday after allegedly missing the West Ham clash through illness.
According to claims from the Evening Standard, the first-team squad were allowed to enjoy a rest day to start the week but on Tuesday, training was set to resume.
Whether Ozil was in attendance for the group training session is currently unclear, but the extent of his apparent illness is unlikely to keep him out of Arsenal’s fourth fixture of the campaign against Cardiff City this weekend.
Controversy and speculation has already clouded the relationship between new Gunners boss Unai Emery and Ozil, with the player reported to have been left frustrated by the Spaniard’s decision to play him away from his natural position.
Nevertheless, Emery insisted ahead of Arsenal’s 3-1 win against West Ham that Ozil’s absence was based strictly on the grounds of medical advice, rather than a consequence of any alleged disagreements.- Read Sport
