Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he expects Mesut Ozil to be fit to face Chelsea in their Premier League London derby next weekend.
The German playmaker was a surprise omission from the Gunners' starting lineup for this afternoon's goalless draw with Stoke City due to a foot injury and illness.
However, Wenger insists that it is not a serious problem and hinted that Ozil will be included for Sunday's showdown at the Emirates.
"Yesterday morning he was not very well. He already was not 100% at Liverpool so I decided to leave him out. I think he should be back for next Sunday," he told reporters.
Ozil has registered 16 assists already this season, putting him just four short of the all-time single-season Premier League record held by Thierry Henry.
