Ozil was forced to play in "Arsenal Reserve"

Arsenal has excluded its German playmaker Mesut Ozil from its squad that is running in the English Premier League, raising doubts about the possibility of continuing his career with the "Gunners" in the future.

The 32-year-old is the highest-paid player in the history of North London club, estimated at 350,000 pounds (450,000 US dollars) a week, but he was also excluded from the squad that will compete in the European Football League "Europa League".

Ozil has not played a minute in the Spanish coach Mikel Arteta's squad since March 7.

Ozil will be able to participate only with the U-23 squad (Reserve) until at least 2021.

The Turkish player has reached his last season with Arsenal, and he will probably not be able to carry his colors officially anymore.

Ozil had insisted last August that he was the only person who would decide when he would leave, despite his removal from the squad.
