Mesut Ozil could feature for Arsenal against rivals Chelsea

On Thursday Emery said he is 'not thinking' about Ozil leaving the club, but wants more consistency from the German midfielder

Arsenal head coach Unai Emery could welcome Mesut Ozil back into his squad for Saturday's Premier League clash with London rivals Chelsea.

Ozil was dropped for last weekend's 1-0 defeat at West Ham but could feature at the Emirates Stadium this time around.

On Thursday Emery said he is "not thinking" about Ozil leaving the club, but wants more consistency from the German midfielder.

"I've spoken to him because I want consistency."

The manager continued: "He's had some injuries and these injuries mean that sometimes he is OK and sometimes he isn't OK. I want every player to give the same work every day to be OK for every match.

"With Mesut it's the same. He didn't play the last matches but to me he's just like any other player. This Saturday he can be with us if he's OK. Now? He's training consistently with his work over the past two weeks and I think he can be."

The Gunners have no fresh injury concerns heading into the game against Chelsea with Rob Holding (knee), Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Danny Welbeck (both ankle) still missing.

Provisional squad: Leno, Cech, Martinez, Jenkinson, Lichtsteiner, Bellerin, Koscielny, Papastathopoulos, Mustafi, Mavropanos, Kolasinac, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Iwobi, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Nketiah.
