SPOTTED: Mesut Ozil back in Arsenal training ahead of Hull rehearsal
MESUT OZIL has given Arsene Wenger a huge boost ahead of Arsenal's trip to Hull tomorrow (2:05pm).
The Gunners head to the KC Stadium to face Hull in the Premier League looking to increase their grip on fourth spot and a place in next season's Champions League.
The two sides will meet in the FA Cup final next month, with this match acting as an important dress rehearsal.
And the visitors will be stronger for the return of Ozil, who has missed Arsenal's last seven games with a hamstring injury.
Lukas Podolski revealed his relief at the return of his compatriot, tweeting a picture of the pair in training today.
