Mesut Ozil was taken off from Arsenal’s first-team squad in the Premier League.
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has backed Mikel Arteta on his decision.
When asked whether he felt the decision was wrong, the Foxes boss said: “Not really, I’d be very much like Mikel.
“Ozil’s a talented player, but it depends on your structure.
“We need every player to contribute to the defensive aspect of the game as well as the attacking aspect.
“The team have to operate with one brain. They have to function and work together.
“There will be teams where there is more freedom, but less structure.
“Ozil’s a wonderful talent and very creative, absolutely. He can make the last pass, but it’s about the team. It’s about marrying the individual qualities of the player into the team and if you feel that player can’t press the game or doesn’t want to press the game, it has an effect on your attacking structure and your defensive structure.
“If one person doesn’t do their job, then you can suffer.
“He’s a talent, but, as always with talent, you have to be a working talent.”
