U. Emery explained why he did not include M. Ozil in the team lineup.

Attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil, who receives a huge salary within the ranks of "Arsenal", appeared in just two matches this season and recently hasn't even made it into the team's matchday squad. The 30-year-old German missed Thursday's UEFA Europa League match against Liege's "Standard", after which "Arsenal" manager Unai Emery stated that other players currently deserve a place in the team more. "I always think about which players deserve a place in the team composition the most and who can help us the most in certain matches. If I decide that M. Ozil won't be in the lineup, it means that other players deserve this spot more. We have Premier League matches on Sunday and again we will have to choose the best players for that day," - Emery said in an interview with "BT Sport" after the victory.
