Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is adamant a knee injury is keeping him on the sidelines.
Ozil missed Saturday's 5-1 thrashing at Liverpool with a knee complaint, with Arsenal head coach Unai Emery saying after the game: "[It's] His knee. I don't know if it's big or not big, but it's his knee."
The German playmaker also missed Arsenal's 4-1 win over Fulham on New Year's Day, but took to Twitter after the match to congratulate his team-mates for the victory and tell fans that he is targeting a comeback as soon as he can.
Positive start into 2019 for us! Congrats Gunners! Nevertheless it was hard for me to not being on the pitch due to my injury today. I definitely want to help the team as soon as possible again. Wishing all of you a happy, healthy and satisfying 2019! #YaGunnersYa#M10 — Mesut Özil (@MesutOzil1088) January 1, 2019
