LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Unai Emery says playmaker Mesut Ozil is needed at the club and would be part of their squad to face Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
Ozil, who joined Arsenal from Real Madrid in 2013 for a then-record 42 million pounds, has been left out of the side regularly in the last two months, at first due to a back sprain and then - according to Emery - because of the physicality of some opponents.
