Mesut Ozil could return to the Arsenal squad to face Hull City this weekend, says manager Arsene Wenger, but a fitness test on Friday will decide his level of participation.
The Gunners boss announced team news for his side in his morning press conference ahead of their game against Hull City – who incidentally the north London outfit will meet in the FA Cup Final at the end of May.
Wenger: "Gibbs is out but Ozil could be back as well. We will see on Friday."

Wenger: "It's good to have Mesut back, he gives you opportunities to score, but we have to test him physically Friday."

Nacho Monreal should be available after sustaining an injury against Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup, while Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain should be fit to start the game.
Mathieu Flamini should also come back into contention after he was suspended for two games having accumulated two yellow cards, and given that Mikel Arteta has played 120 minutes and 90 minutes in the past week, the Frenchman could well be called upon to face Hull City.
