Unai Emery offered his support to Mesut Ozil after the Arsenal playmaker quit the German national team, saying his squad provides "a family for every player".
Ozil - who won 92 caps - criticised the German Football Association (DFB) in a three-part statement announcing his international retirement on Sunday, claiming they had failed to protect him from racially motivated criticism after the team’s disappointing World Cup campaign.
The 29-year-old has joined Arsenal's training camp in Singapore ahead of their pre-season friendlies against Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, and Emery said he was glad to have Ozil on board.
