Arsene Wenger plays down Mesut Ozil injury

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has played down the severity of Mesut Ozil's injury.

The playmaker missed the Gunners' 1-0 win over Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon with shoulder complaint, but the French boss insists that it was not a serious one.

Wenger's side are now top of the Premier League.
