Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has been candid about his decision to ax Ozil from the squad.

Arteta revealed that he had ‘tried his best’ to include Ozil in the team, but it somehow didn’t work out. Mesut Ozil might potentially be out of the squad for the rest of the season, including all Premier League games and Europa League games.

“What I can tell you that I tried my best, I tried to give him as many opportunities as I could,” the Arsenal boss told Sky Sports.

“And that from my own side, I’ve been patient, given him opportunities and been fair.

“He’s a player that belongs to a football club, he’s been a really important player in the last few seasons. I have to respect that, I’m here to make decisions, the best decisions for the team and for the club.

“This is what I try to do and then I have to explain to them because people need the reasons and the right answers. I just give mine, whether they believe me or agree with me or not, there’s nothing I can do.

“But I have to put my decisions, with my heart and with my brain to make the right decisions that I believe are good.”
