According to the Sunday Supplement, as cited by Sky Sports, the Mirror’s Andy Dunn has said that Arsenal boss Unai Emery is not in the position to freeze out German playmaker Mesut Ozil as he does not have enough quality players at his disposal.
The Gunners were able to clinch their first victory of the season against West Ham United after two losses in their first two consecutive matches against Manchester City and Chelsea. However, Emery left Ozil out of the squad in their clash against the Hammers, which is assumed to be the aftermath of a training ground bust-up between the manager and the player.
This might see the former German international miss out on a place in the Arsenal squad in the future matches as well but Dunn has said that the player should not be left out of the team. Dunn said, “You can’t get around the fact there are hierarchies in dressing rooms, and he’s Arsenal’s marquee player,” he added, “If you’ve got a player of that talent, sometimes your job within the club is to get the best out of that talent, so you can cover for Mesut Ozil.

Dunn went onto argue over the Arsenal manager’s statement which depicted that Ozil was dropped due to illness as well and said, “The Arsenal week has rotated around whether he’ll drop Ozil, can he fit into the intense style of play, that’s dominated things. Then he gets sick on Friday – you can look at that as a coincidence. But then Emery says he’s come to the game, left training ill on Friday but was at the game and in the dressing room on Saturday. If a player’s ill, why would you be invited to the game?”
