Mesut Ozil breaks silence as fears grow over his fitness for Germanys World Cup opener
Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has confirmed hes resumed light training as he bids to be fit for Germanys World Cup opener against Mexico.
The playmaker has missed the last four days of training with a knee injury and Joachim Low admitted he was worried about the Germans fitness ahead of their first game on June 17th.
Ozil scored in Germanys 2-1 victory over Austria last weekend but the Arsenal playmaker was forced off in the 76th minute of the clash and replaced by Julian Draxler.
However, Ozil has moved to allay fears over his fitness by confirming he could participate in a light training session today.
I didnt take part in final team training today but some running exercises were possible again, said Ozil.
