Mesut Ozil Expected to Start First Arsenal Game in 3 Months in Brighton FA Cup Tie
The Daily Star reports that the German international has already been told he is in the starting lineup for the 4th round tie, the first time his name has been on the team-sheet since the start of October.
Ozil has been nursing a knee ligament injury but returned to training in the last couple of weeks and made his comeback as a substitute for the final 17 minutes of the 3-0 win over Stoke on the 11th January.
Moving forward things may not be so easy for the £42.5m star to re-establish his place in the Gunners team though, with Santi Cazorla in inspired form in a central attacking midfield role.
Arsene Wenger would surely be reluctant to move the Spaniard while he is playing so well, while Ozil is less than happy and much less effective when asked to fill a wider position.
