He hopes to be fit for Saturday's trip to Stoke. ="http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-playmaker-mesut-ozil-handed-3179784">As revealed by MirrorFootball<, Ozil suffered a dead leg against Bayern Munich and Arsenal simply did not want to risk him on Saturday.
Wenger rarely gives his squad time off during the season but clearly players like Ozil have been pushed to the limit in recent weeks and they have been given an extra rest ahead of the tough fixture list.

Ramsey has been out since Christmas with a thigh injury and broke down in his last comeback so will not be rushed back this time.
