The Germany international has been ruled out for up to three
months and the Frenchman is adamant the playmaker will
follow the Gunners' advice as he recovers
Arsene Wenger says Arsenal will set Mesut Ozil’s recovery
timetable after the playmaker reported back from international
duty with a serious injury.
Ozil has been ruled out for up to three months with a ligament
tear in his left knee, after an assessment whilst with the
Germany national team.
But Wenger says that Arsenal’s own specialist is advising the
club on how to deal with the problem, as they look to guide
Ozil back to fitness as soon as possible.
“When he arrived with the German national team, they didn’t
think it was a lot at the start,” the manager said. "He was
supposed to practice on Wednesday but, in the end, he said
that wasn’t possible for him.
“Then he had a scan and it was bad news. We have our own
specialist giving us his opinion after reading the scan and
examining Mesut. We will follow our own recommendations.”
Arsenal have been hit by a number of injury setbacks this
season but Wenger has revealed that Theo Walcott and Serge
Gnabry are both close to making their first-team comebacks,
while Aaron Ramsey is eight days away from returning to
training.
“Theo is not too far away now,” said Wenger. “Serge has
been out for a long, long time and Theo has also been out for
nine months, so it’s good to see them back. They’ve worked
very hard and they’re very dedicated. They are back in the
group on a daily basis and that’s very good news.
“For Ramsey it's day 13 today and I think it will be day 21
before he is back into training. Arteta may be back with the
group late next week.

Kool story

That's stupid thing to say. They should let the German national team doctors decide. Is it not the same Arsenal medical team that said Wilshere will be out for 4 weeks and 4weeks became 17 months?

Rosicky was to be out for few days, because 13 months.

I don't trust Arsenal's medical team and Ozil can't be trusted in this case as well. Players want to play even when they are not fit to play.
