The German star has courted criticism all season but will be determined to prove everyone wrong in a crucial match against Manchester City
Mesut Ozil will return to the Arsenal starting XI for Sunday’s mammoth Premier League clash against Manchester City. The Germany international hasn’t started a game for Arsene Wenger’s side since the humiliating defeat by Bayern Munich in February.
Since then, Ozil has suffered with injuries, illness and watched his team-mates lose four of their last five league games for the first time since April 1995.
Ozil is no stranger to the criticism which has been deservedly levelled at the Arsenal players over the past few weeks, but his absence from the team means he has escaped the noose of many pundits, journalists and fans.
