Arsenal pair Ozil and Kolasinac targeted near homes this week

Arsenal pair Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac have been targeted in recent days after their carjacking incident last week, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says they will not be part of the Arsenal squad to play Newcastle on Sunday following 'further security incidents' which are being investigated by the police.

It comes two weeks after they were attacked by knife-wielding thugs on mopeds in north west London. It's understood the pair have been targeted in further incidents near their homes over the past few days.

Both players are said to be safe.

In the aftermath of the attack, both Ozil, 30, and Kolasinac, 26, had been training at the club's London Colney base as usual. They also took part in a pre-season photoshoot this week.
