Mesut Ozil sends message to Arsenal fans after being axed from Europa League squad

Mesut Ozil has been dropped by Unai Emery for Arsenal’s Europa League against BATE Borisov on Thursday evening. The midfielder has played just 102 minutes of football this year and missed a number of matches because of different reasons. This time the club’s top earner on £350,000 a week, is not fit enough to take part in Thursday’s Europa League tie and did not travel with the team to Belarus. “We are here with the players who I think are OK to play,” Emery said before the team flew out to Belarus on Wednesday. “The players not in the squad is because Ramsey has not trained with us, Sokratis has started to train but not enough, Mesut is the same.” Ozil also missed the match against Huddersfield because of illness. However, in a message sent to supporters Ozil showed that he wasn’t ill with a picture of himself celebrating alongside Aubameyang and Iwobi.
