Having already suffered an injury to Alexis Sanchez, the Gunners boss made a similarly candid confession about the Germany international and assist machine
Arsene Wenger has admitted that worn-out Mesut Ozil is risking injury through too many games, but the playmaker is too important to Arsenal to be rested.
The manager recently saw Alexis Sanchez sidelined with a hamstring injury after revealing he needed a break.
And speaking on Friday, he said that Germany international Ozil was in a similar situation as he has led Arsenal to the Premier League summit.
“At the moment, he doesn’t practice a lot. We rest him a lot between the games. I gave him one-week holiday during the international break," Wenger affirmed.
“He is a guy who, once the basic fitness is there between the games, he wants to play.
