Arsenal manager Unai Emery wants Mesut Ozil to fight to revive his flagging Gunners career.
The German's future at the Emirates is under a huge cloud after he was omitted from the last two matches - although Arsenal are adamant Ozil was injured for Sunday's epic 4-2 win over Tottenham.
Emery is reluctant to draw an indefinite line under Ozil's Arsenal future but the hard-line manager wants to see a forceful reaction.
It is understood Emery - despite his obvious doubts over Ozil - still believes the ex-Real Madrid star can play a role for the club moving forward.
