Confirmed: Mesut Ozil ruled OUT of Manchester City clash with injury
ARSENAL have confirmed Mesut Ozil will miss this afternoon's clash with Manchester City through injury.
Mesut Ozil has a hip injury
Ozil was pictured training with his team-mates yesterday at London Colney as they prepared for the match.
But the German was a surprise omission from Arsene Wenger's starting line-up at the Etihad.
And the club quickly revealed the 27-year-old has suffered a "slight hip injury".

But his absence means last week's goalscoring hero Danny Welbeck comes into the team.
Welbeck's inclusion is one of two changes made by Wenger.
Brazilian defender Gabriel replaces Per Mertesacker, who has a hamstring injury.
