The German playmaker still believes he has a future at the Emirates Stadium despite his lack of game time under the current manager
Mesut Ozil says he feels "helpless" watching Arsenal from the sidelines but has vowed to get back into Unai Emery's first-team plans.
Emery has only used the 31-year-old playmaker in two of the Gunners' 11 matches this season, for a total of 142 minutes on the pitch.
With question marks surrounding his future at the club, Ozil admitted his dismay at being frozen out of the first team but said he is ready to make an impact if called upon.
