Injury Sidelines Ozil For 12 Weeks

Arsenal’s English Premier League, EPL, title hope has been dealt a huge blow following latest news that midfielder Mesut Ozil will be out of action for 10 to 12 weeks.

The 25-year-old midfielder, who played 90 minutes in Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday, is suffering from ruptured ligaments in his left knee, according to result of an MRI scan earlier today.

It was gathered that the midfielder did not take part in the German national team’s first training session on Tuesday after the knee problem was detected.
BBC Sport reports that the injury was confirmed by the German Football Federation through their spokesperson Jens Grittner.
If the diagnosis is correct, it means Ozil may not be available to play for Arsenal until after Christmas.
Ozil joins list of Arsenal players already out with injuries which include: Theo Walcott (Who is set to resume training after the international break), Olivier Giroud, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Debuchy, Aaron Ramsey, Yaya Sanogo and Serge Gnabry on the Arsenal injury list.
Ozil signed from Real Madrid for a club record £42.4m in September 2013 and has scored eight goals in 46 starts.
He has been criticised for some of his performances, but helped the Gunners win the FA Cup last season – the club’s first trophy in nine years.
Ozil will miss Germany’s Euro 2016 qualifiers against Poland on Saturday and the Republic of Ireland next Tuesday.
