Mesut Ozil has told Arsenal fans that he has returned to training after being struck down with flu over the festive period.The German World Cup winner has missed the Gunners’ last two matches due to illness, and fans will be hoping that he can get the team back on track.Arsenal are currently eight points adrift of leaders Chelsea and they have dropped out of the top four following a run of unwanted results.They suffered back-to-back defeats to Everton and Manchester City, and despite responding with wins over West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace, they had to fight from 3-0 down to claim a point against Bournemouth earlier this week.[ad_pod id=’now-tv’ align=’centre’]To be honest, Ozil’s superstar shine has dimmed slightly due to the playmaker struggling in his last few games to make a significant impact.Nevertheless, he has returned to training after being cooped up in bed with the flu, but he is unlikely to feature in this weekend’s FA Cup match against Preston North End.Ozil took to Twitter to let fans know that he is closing in on a return to action.
