Arsenal legend Perry Groves has criticised the club's highest earner, Mesut Ozil, for his absence this season.

Ozil was not involved with the first team following the COVID-19 pause in the league's proceedings.

The Gunners won the FA Cup on Saturday against Chelsea, their 14th win, and Ozil was not even present at the stadium.

"That just sums him up all over. He's not bothered about Arsenal, he's just bothered about himself," he told talkSPORT.

"I wouldn't want my teammates to think that I was that selfish. So it just means that he knows he's done with Arsenal.

"[If I was his teammate] I wouldn't even… Don't text or WhatsApp me, do you know what I mean?

"If you're not really bothered, don't pretend you are."
