Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Mesut Ozil will miss 2 or 3 games due to a shoulder injury.
The German missed the trip to Newcastle today, and the Arsenal manager revealed on Sky that he could miss the games against Cardiff in the league and Sp*rs in the FA Cup.
Given that there’s a 9 day gap between the FA Cup game and the next league game, the boss might well consider this a chance to rest a player who is, for the first time in his career, playing through the festive season.
NOooö
AW to Mesut. You have a sore shoulder take 2 games off
Mesut to AW. But I feel ok
AW to Mesut. Sore Shoulder Winter Break call it what you like
Looks like he is getting a winter break after all.
It might be a blessing refreshed ozil for the second half of the season
If we are to be champions, this is the period now where we have to hang in there and stay in the mix.
Im pretty sure he’s fine Wenger knows what he’s doing or at least I hope so COYG!
Where are Vermaelen and Monreal? They don’t need rest.
who are the nitwits thumbing this down? The guy asked a good question
They weren’t resting they were out ill. Probably why you got the thumbs down.
We’ll miss him, but he could do with some rest. We’ve got plenty of midfield options and I’d rather have him back for a more important game than Cardiff City…
We really miss him, he is great.
Nooo. We need the assist king! Hopefuly Cazorla will find some form.
Very wise team management by Mr Wenger. Let him recharge, it then clears the way with Ramsey injured for Jack and Santi to play themselves into some form, much like Aaron last year hopefully
