Europa League: Ozil to get Iwobi’s chance

It has been hinted that German international Mesut Ozil will be handed the opportunity to start in Arsenal’s Europa League clash against BATE Borisov of Belarus on Thursday.

The former Real Madrid man has not been favoured by manager Unai Emery in the for his poor performance in recent time but he could be handed an opportunity to prove his critics wrong.
