The Germany international has made just nine
appearances this season after succumbing to a serious knee injury in
October but will return to full training in the next few weeks
The Germany international has made just nine appearances this season, having been granted an extended break after the World Cup before he succumbed to a serious knee injury in October.
Arsenal have struggled in the former Real Madrid star’s absence and currently lie sixth in the Premier League, trailing fourth-placed West Ham by two points.
But Ozil says he is nearing a return to first team training and cannot wait to make his comeback.
"I am working every day to get myself fit and I am on the right path now," the Germany international told the club's official website. "It won't be much too much longer before I am back on the pitch.
"I hope to be back training with the whole team again as soon as possible.
"After a time, you really miss playing football. You miss the ball and just want to play. When you watch the games and think that you could have been playing, and playing well, it makes you miss it, but that's the way things are."
Arsenal travel to Anfield on Sunday looking for a victory that would help avenge last season's 5-1 defeat and boost their top-four chances.
