'The club's behind Mesut, we're a team' - Arsenal's players support Ozil, Maitland-Niles insists

The German was not named in the Gunners' Premier League squad this week, but the England international insists he is fully backing his team-mate

Mesut Ozil still has the full backing of Arsenal's players despite the playmaker missing out on the Gunners' 25-man Premier League squad, according to Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

Ozil, who was not included in Arsenal's Europa League squad, has also failed to secure a place in Mikel Arteta's squad for the top-flight campaign.

The 32-year-old has not featured for Arsenal at all since March 7, despite having played in every game between Arteta's appointment in December and then.
