It looks like Mesut Ozil and Kieran Tierney might not be in the squad for Arsenal’s trip to Manchester United tonight.

According to The Manchester Evening News, the German playmaker was not spotted leaving the team hotel this afternoon.

The report adds that Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney is not in the 18-man squad.

Here’s how Gunners fans reacted to the report:

Tierney joined Arsenal in a £25 million move from Celtic this past summer, but only made his debut in the League Cup last week after an injury-hit start to life in North London.

Likewise, Ozil has only played once under manager Unai Emery this season – the 2-2 draw with Watford two weeks ago – and it remains to be seen exactly why he has not been included.

Emery’s side are eighth in the Premier League table, three places and three points above Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
