Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere believes there are behind the scenes issues between Mesut Ozil and the club.
Wilshere cannot understand why Ozil has not been given any chances in the past six months at the club.
While the German may not be the player he was, Wilshere believes only a behind the scenes rift explains his complete absence from the squad.
The former Arsenal man told the ITV Football Football Podcast: "Yeah I am [confused], because I played with him and used to love playing with him and really, really enjoyed it.
"He's one of the best I played with.
"So yeah, I am surprised, but there's obviously something that we don't know."
