Arsenal's Mesut Ozil: Will not face Liverpool in opener

Ozil has yet to return to training following the European Championship, and he will not play in Arsenal's Premier League opener against Liverpool on Sunday, ESPN FC reports.

Analysis:

Ozil will once again be a vital piece of the Gunners' attack this season, and his delayed start will be joined by those of Laurent Koscielny and Olivier Giroud, leaving Arsenal quite light to begin the new campaign.
