PHOTO: Ozil’s Leg Heavily Strapped As He Steps Up Injury Return With Gym Session
Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has stepped up his recovery from a knee injury and is already back in the gym doing weights sessions to strengthen his legs.
News broke earlier this month that Ozil was facing a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury during our 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The playmaker was subsequently ruled out for up to three months after undergoing surgery to repair a small tear in his ligament but it appears he’s already on the comeback trail.
Ozil has posted a photo on Twitter of himself in the gym doing a weights session and although his left leg is heavily strapped, it’s a good sign to see him working on his fitness.
Hopefully the German international can return from his injury sooner than expected as we’ve sorely missed him in recent weeks and we could get the best out of his creative talents now that Theo Walcott is set to return to the first team fold.
I'm relieved about yesterday's victory but nevertheless these weights feel heavy on my shoulders … pic.twitter.com/gj6TcVacda
