Mesut Ozil injury fears eased for Arsenal

Ozil injury fears eased for Arsenal

Arsenal have been handed a boost ahead of their clash with Norwich City this weekend with the news that star man Mesut Ozil could be fit to play.

The Gunners were dealt a worrying blow on Tuesday when the German was forced to limp off with a knee problem and head straight to the dressing room during his country's spectacular 5-3 over Sweden in Group C.

However, Bild claims that Ozil only suffered a bruised knee and could possibly feature for Arsenal if required on Saturday at the Emirates.

Despite this, manager Arsene Wenger could rest the 25-year-old for the match due to the likely return of Santi Cazorla from injury, which could result in a like-for-like swap in midfielde.

Ozil scored and picked up an assist during Germany's victory.
