Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta denies he's freezing out Mesut Ozil.

Ozil has not played a single minute for Arsenal since the Premier League's return, with "tactical" reasons and a back injury keeping him out.

"There is always a place for a player of his quality," Arteta said.

"Players can adapt to different systems and we can adapt systems for different players.

"Sometimes it is not just about what we want to play or how we want to play, sometimes we have to try to field the players that we have available in the right moments, in the right positions, to perform and be comfortable on the pitch to do what we require them to do."
