Arsenal hero Emmanuel Petit is baffled by the demise of Mesut Ozil.
The midfielder has been frozen out by manager Unai Emery for the past month.
Petit said, "Emery said last week that Mesut Ozil was ready to play. Yet he didn't even make the bench. That left Arsenal without any quality to bring on. The players Emery picked to start in Sheffield - honestly, come on! Were there really no other options? What about Dani Ceballos? He's one of the few Arsenal players who can create something with his passing. I don't want to focus on Granit Xhaka all the time but, well, show me something else!
"Regarding Ozil, I don't think the club are being completely honest. Ozil seems to be ready to play, he has been training for weeks - if he's not fit now, when is he going to be fit? There's a problem somewhere.
"Maybe it's a mental issue or maybe Emery simply doesn't like him or doesn't trust him."
