Mesut Ozil snapped a photo in the gym as the Arsenal midfielder looks to overcome a troublesome knee problem.

The Germany international has endured an underwhelming start to the Premier League season following a disastrous performance in a 4-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield back in August.

Ozil was heavily criticised for his lacklustre display on Merseyside but retained his place in Arsene Wenger’s team for their 3-0 win against Bournemouth at The Emirates at the start of September.

However, the Arsenal boss left Ozil out of his squad for the north London side’s goalless draw with defending Premier League champions at Stamford Bridge.

The Gunners left Stamford Bridge with plenty of credit for a resilient performance as Wenger was urged to think twice about reinstating Ozil to his team.

The German midfielder is struggling with a knee problem and came on as a late substitute in a 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.

However, Ozil was again missing last weekend as Wenger’s side notched up a 2-0 win against promoted side Brighton in front of their home supporters.

But the Arsenal midfielder is seemingly keen to prove to Arsenal fans that he is working hard in the gym ahead of his return to first-team action.

Ozil posted the above photo and wrote the simple caption to accompany the snap: "Gym"
