Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger reveals he hasn't seen Mesut Özil for a week as the German continues to be sidelined through illness.
He hasn't played since the 1-0 win against West Brom on Boxing Day and came under fire for his displays in back-to-back defeats against Everton and Manchester City prior to the festive period.
"I haven't seen [Özil] for a week," Wenger told Sky Sports before the Bournemouth clash.
"It was an easy decision [to not include him]. He is still in bed.
"He's not available and I don't think he will be available for the next game as he hasn't done anything for a week."
Özil is expected to be rested as the Gunners travel to Preston in the FA Cup on Saturday, with the next Premier League fixture on January 14 at Swansea.
