Mesut Ozil 'facing uncertain future at Arsenal'

Mesut Ozil is reportedly facing an uncertain future at Arsenal after being benched for Sunday's trip to Bournemouth.

Gunners boss Unai Emery suggested after his side's 2-1 win at the Vitality Stadium that Ozil was purposely left out due to concerns about his work rate.

According to the Daily Star, Emery is particularly concerned with the ex-Germany international's contribution in the 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last month, explaining his absence at the weekend.

The 30-year-old now faces the prospect of being left out regularly for away matches, the report claims, leading to questions over whether he will last under Emery.

Arsenal are expected to make wholesale changes for Thursday's trip to Vorskla Poltava, having already booked a place in the last 32 of the Europa League.
