Arsenal defender says his teammate has been treated harshly in the media, after rubbishing reports of a bust up with his club boss
Nacho Monreal says there is no rift between Mesut Ozil and Arsenal head coach Unai Emery, while defending his team-mate over "unfair" treatment.
Ozil endured a tempestuous summer after a controversial photograph with Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan overshadowed Germany's World Cup build-up.
After the 2014 winners shock group-stage exit at Russia 2018, the 29-year-old stepped away from international duty citing a "feeling of racism and disrespect".
Returning to club duty provided little respite, with Ozil struggling to make an impact for Arsenal under new boss Emery, who was forced to deny reports of a training-ground row between the pair after the playmaker missed their Premier League defeat of West Ham.
