Former Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong says Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta could yet regret freezing out Mesut Ozil.
De Jong isn't convinced the Spaniard has made the correct call, and fears the bold decision could come back to haunt Arteta.
"If you look at the player Mesut Ozil then I think the creativity he has for the squad is impeccable, still," De Jong said on beIN SPORTS.
"Of course, he is now at an age. He's not the young Ozil that we knew four or five years ago. But I think the type of player he is then I think for Arsenal, especially with the players they have in front, I think a player like Ozil can really help you forward.
"But I don't know how the situation is right now between Ozil and Arsenal with Arteta. So, he cannot rely on him anymore and it could bite him back."
