Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has provided a fitness update on midfielder Mesut Ozil ahead of their FA Cup third round clash with Blackpool at Bloomfield Road.
The German playmaker has been sidelined for the last two matches and Emery has revealed that the midfielder did not train on ahead of Saturday's match.
Speaking in his press conference ahead of the game, Emery, as quoted by the Sun, said: “Mesut [Ozil] didn’t train this morning. I am only waiting for him to be ok to play.”
With the 30-year-old now set to miss the match against the League One side, it will mean Arsenal's highest paid star will have started only three of the last 13 matches for the Gunners, having last appeared away at Brighton on Boxing Day.
