Ozil “working hard” to recover from back injury

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has revealed that he is “working hard” to recover from his back injury, according to a report on Football London.

The attacking midfielder has not played since the international break one month ago.

He was named on the bench for Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Bournemouth but manager Unai Emery opted against bringing him on as the Gunners held on for the three points.

Ozil has since missed the clashes with FC Vorskla, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Huddersfield Town with a back problem.

The German posted on social media saying that he is working hard to recover as soon as possible and that is good news for everyone associated with Arsenal.

With a busy fixture schedule coming up, Emery will be delighted to see Ozil coming back to full fitness.

However, the Gunners have had no problems without Ozil and have been picking up some very good results without the playmaker, with some claiming that they are better off without him.
