Germany coach Joachim Low insists Mesut Ozil is not in hot water with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Low says Ozil had the permission of Arsene Wenger to fly to Berlin despite missing Arsenal's win against Newcastle due to illness.

Just hours after the Gunners beat John Carver's side 2-1 at St James' Park - a game that Ozil was not well enough to feature in - the playmaker was spotted in a nightclub in the German capital.

"It's anyone's guess whether he was partying or not," Low told reporters.

"He has told me that he was in Berlin. I spoke to him and he said that he was weakened by a cold during last week and so Arsene Wenger and Ozil together took the decision to not play him at the weekend. After the match, he was allowed to fly to Berlin."
