The first reaction of the German Ozil to the decision to expel him from Arsenal
Former German international Mesut Ozil expressed his "extreme frustration" after his English football club Arsenal excluded him from the Premier League first leg.
Ozil, 32, wrote on Instagram today, Wednesday: "When I signed my new contract in 2018, I expressed my loyalty and loyalty to the club I love, Arsenal, and it saddened me that no reciprocity was given."
It is reported that Mikel Arteta did not include Ozil in the club's list in the league, which means that the striker will not be able to play until the end of next January.
Ozil, whose contract with Arsenal expires next summer, added that he had remained silent so far because he was hoping for a chance to return to the team. "I have always tried to remain positive."
Ozil said: "I will continue to fight for my chance and not let my eighth season with Arsenal end like this," indicating that the decision will not change anything in his position and that he will continue to make every effort in training. "In London I always feel like at home, and I have many friends. Dear members of the team, I still feel a strong bond with the club fans. "
Ozil, who has 92 international matches, is one of the highest paid earners in the English club, with an annual salary of about 20 million euros.
The last time Ozil participated with Arsenal more than seven months ago in the team's match against West Ham on the seventh of last March, and this was the last match in the English Premier League before the competition was stopped due to the Corona pandemic, and then Ozil remained sitting on the bench seat and the official data says He is not participating due to his back problems.
Ozil can participate in cup matches or with the U-23 team, because his name is also not included in the team's list of European League competitions.
Ozil has repeatedly ruled out an early departure from Arsenal and could return to the league list in the return leg of the competition, but this possibility is unlikely.
