Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil is doubtful joining the World cup this summer in Russia.
The Arsenal midfielder suffered injury on the Saturday friendly match between Germany and Austria but was forced out at the 14th minute due to a knee injury.
According to a German publication Bild reports that Ozil has not returned to full training since the incident, instead being limited to fitness and conditioning work.
The 29-year-old missed the final seven Premier League games of the season due to various injuries, and is now not expected to feature in Germany’s final warm-up game against Saudi Arabia on Friday.
The defending champions get their World Cup campaign underway against Mexico in 10 days’ time, leaving Ozil as a doubt for the opening stages of the tournament.
Ozil has won 90 caps for Germany and was part of the team which lifted the trophy in Brazil four years ago.
