Mesut Ozil is back in full training



Mesut Ozil is back in full training and available for Arsenal's Premier League clash with Stoke City on Sunday, Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed.

The club-record signing has been sidelined since October with a knee injury but is back in full training and in line to return against the Potters - against whom he bagged three assists on his home debut for the club last season.

"Aaron Ramsey, Ozil and Mathieu Flamini are back in training. [Danny] Welbeck is not available, [Olivier] Giroud is back from suspension," the Frenchman told reporters.

After confirming that the World Cup-winning playmaker was available for selection, he continued: "Will he start or not? I haven't decided yet."

Another player whose place in the starting XI Wenger has yet to decide upon is Wojciech Szczesny, who wascaught smoking after the New Year's Day defeat to Southampton.

"I haven't selected the first eleven yet," the Arsenal boss explained. "We have three goalkeepers at Arsenal who are top class."

Speaking about the smoking incident, he added: "I don't want to talk about what happens in our dressing room because what happens stays in the dressing room. Apart from the fact it doesn't stay in the dressing room!

"He's a serious boy who works very hard. He's not the first to make a mistake and not the last."

Szczesny's father claimed earlier this week that his son was a scapegoat for an "embarrassment" of an Arsenal defence, though Wenger refused to respond: "I don't listen to the mother, father, grandmother."
