Arsenal injury update: Ozil ruled out of Brighton game, Koscielny a doubt

Arsene Wenger spoke to the club's website to give an update of his
squad ahead of Sunday's Premier League match against Brighton.

Mesut Ozil will miss the game against Brighton on Sunday with an
unspecified injury, while Laurent Koscielny is a doubt for the match
with an Achilles problem. But should be fit enough to feature.

Alex Iwobi might be available again after missing the last two games
with a thigh injury.

These were Wenger's words to Arsenal.com

"Mesut Ozil will not be available for Sunday. Very short-term. He is
not far, but he is not enough for Sunday.

"Alex Iwobi might be available for Sunday, of course Coquelin and
Welbeck are not available. We have a doubt about Laurent Koscielny
unfortunately and he will have a test tomorrow. It's an achilles
problem, it's ongoing. I think everybody else should be available.
Sead Kolasinac had some problems, but he is available. That's
basically it."

The Brighton game on Sunday would complete a run of three matches in
six days for Arsenal following Monday's and Thurday's matches against
West Brom and BATE Borisov.
