When Mesut Ozil's name was missing from the teamsheet at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night, it came as little surprise. No Ozil? That's become the norm at Arsenal.
Ozil has made the squad just four times from 13 matches this season and has a grand total of 142 minutes of game time under his belt.
There have been plenty of rumours about his future before, and now they will start again. Against Vitoria Guimaraes some fans chanted his name, and at least one held a sign asking for him to return.
Afterwards, boss Unai Emery refused to discuss Ozil.
