Mesut Ozil is “available” for Arsenal’s first game under Mikel Arteta, with the German looking to come back into contention after being informed by Freddie Ljungberg that he would not have figured against Everton even if he was fit.
The Gunners took in a final outing under an interim boss on Saturday as they were held to a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park.
Ozil missed out on a place in the matchday squad, with a knock picked up in a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City said to have kept him on the sidelines.
