The attacking midfielder has been out of action for over a month and the coach is in no rush to bring him back to the squad
Unai Emery says the decision to leave Mesut Ozil out of the Arsenal squad was made by the whole club and not just him.
The 31-year-old has made two appearances in all competitions for the Gunners this season and has not been included in the matchday squad since September.
Although there are growing calls among Arsenal fans for the attacking midfielder to return to the side, Emery has kept quiet on the reason for his exile.
