Does this mean Mesut Ozil is in the 20-man squad this time? Arsenal's £350,000-a-week outcast posts preview video to his Instagram ahead of Brighton clash... after being left out against Manchester City due to tactical reasons

Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil has posted a preview video ahead of their Brighton clash to his Instagram after he was dropped from the 20-man squad against Manchester City.

The German midfielder was a surprise no-show on the Gunners return to the Premier League on Wednesday, as manager Mikel Arteta left the £350,000-a-week playmaker out of his extended 20-man squad.

After Arsenal fell to a 3-0 defeat against City at the Etihad Stadium, Arteta insisted that Ozil was left out for 'tactical reasons'.
