Mesut Ozil has reportedly been left out of Arsenal's squad for Thursday's Europa League clash with BATE Borisov.

Metro claim Ozil was not spotted boarding the Gunners plane headed for Belarus on Wednesday.

The German has featured just twice for Arsenal since Boxing Day, and speculation has been rife with the club wanting to offload the playmaker.

Arsenal had listed Ozil available for the BATE fixture after he completed training on Tuesday.

He missed last Saturday's win over Huddersfield Town due to illness.
