(Reuters) - Arsenal must get midfielder Mesut Ozil involved in the first team again and keeping him sidelined is a "waste" of the playmaker's creativity, the club's former manager Arsene Wenger has said.

Ozil played all Premier League matches under Mikel Arteta before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic but the 31-year-old has not played a single minute for Arsenal since the 2019-20 season restarted in June.
