adminLONDON. — Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says the club will “follow our own recommendations” on how best to deal with Mesut Ozil’s recovery from a knee injury.
The German Football Federation claimed that Ozil was set to be out for “10 to 12 weeks” after scans taken in Germany revealed the midfielder suffered a “partial rupture of the outer band of the left knee joint”, but Arsenal are refusing to set a time-frame for the recovery of their record signing.
The Gunners released their own statement on the club website saying: “Wenger knows he will be without the 25-year-old for at least two months”.
Whatever the time frame, the Arsenal boss accepts he will have to be patient with Ozil’s return to full match fitness, which could well not be until the start of 2015.
“When he arrived with the German national team, they didn’t think it was a lot at the start. He was supposed to practise on Wednesday but, in the end, he said that wasn’t possible for him,” Wenger said. — Sky Sports.
