Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil will NOT be involved in FA Cup final against Chelsea as German playmaker 'has spent the last few days in Turkey'

Mesut Ozil will reportedly play no part for Arsenal during their FA Cup final against London rivals Chelsea on Saturday.

The German playmaker has not played under Mikel Arteta after the Premier League restarted in the middle of June and he will once again be watching on as his team-mates battle it out for FA Cup glory.

According to football reporter Chris Wheatley on Twitter, Ozil has been in Turkey over the last few days and therefore will not be involved at Wembley.

The official word from Arsenal regarding Ozil's omission in recent months is that he has been struggling with a back injury but there are doubts as to whether Arteta has the player in his first-team plans.
