I'm close to playing football again & helping Arsenal, says Ozil

Thegoalmac has learned that Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has revealed he is close to a return from injury and insists he can help turn his side’s season around.

Thegoalmac wishes Mesut speedy recovery and hope he stays injury for the rest of the season to help Arsenal stabilize. Continue to read what he said after the cut.


Ozil says he is nearing a return to first team training and cannot wait to make his comeback.

"I am working every day to get myself fit and I am on the right path now," the Germany international told the club's official website. "It won't be much too much longer before I am back on the pitch.

"I hope to be back training with the whole team again as soon as possible.

"After a time, you really miss playing football. You miss the ball and just want to play. When you watch the games and think that you could have been playing, and playing well, it makes you miss it, but that's the way things are."

Arsenal travel to Anfield on Sunday looking for a victory that would help avenge last season's 5-1 defeat and boost their top-four chances.
