Mesut Ozil looks sharp in pre-season training as Arsenal team-mate cools down in ice bin
MESUT OZIL has been working hard in pre-season training as the Arsenal star looks to focus on the new season after a turbulent few weeks.
Mesut Ozil and his Arsenal team-mates have taken part in their first training session since touching down in Singapore for the initial leg of their pre-season tour.
The Gunners flew out from Stansted Airport yesterday as Ozil linked up with the squad following his post-World Cup holiday.
The German midfielder today announced that he is quitting international football citing “racism and disrespect” regarding his Turkish roots.
However, Ozil looked ready to put the saga behind him as he worked up a sweat during training at Singapore American School.
The 29-year-old has some catching up to do with the majority of the squad having taken part in intensive sessions supervised by new manager Unai Emery over the past two weeks.
Meanwhile, one of Ozil’s team-mates found a novel way to cool down in the Far East – jumping into a makeshift ice bath made from a garden bin.
