Ozil, Bellerin and Holding feature in behind closed doors Arsenal friendly

Unai Emery's side took on Championship side Reading at the Gunners' London Colney training ground

Mesut Ozil, Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding all featured for Arsenal in a behind closed doors friendly against Reading during the international break.

The game - which finished 2-2 - was held at London Colney with Unai Emery keen to give minutes to the members of his squad who hadn’t been called up for to represent their national teams over the past fortnight.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Kieran Tierney and Shkodran Mustafi were also involved - but Goal has learnt that Alexandre Lacazette wasn’t risked, with the France international close to a return to fitness following six weeks out with an ankle problem.
