TEMPO.CO, London - Mesut Ozil’s injury that is predicted to last for 10 weeks blows Arsenal after the club lost a number of its key players, including Olivier Giroud, Mathieu Debuchy, Aaron Ramsey, Mikel Arteta, Theo Walcot and Abou Diaby due to similar problem.
Ozil has played five times and booked a goal at the Premiership this season. Statistically speaking, Ozil’s absence has no significant impact on Arsenal’s performance as the club recorded more victories without Ozil.
Since Ozil landed from Real Madrid on September 2, 2013, he had recorded 32 caps, with 18 victories, 9 draws and 5 defeats. When Ozil missed 13 games with The Gunners, Arsenal booked 8 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Averagely, Arsenal’s winning percentage without Ozil is 61.5 percent, higher than when he was on the field. However, Arsenal scored more goals (1.8 per match) when Ozil was listed on the playing squad than when he was absent (1.6 goals per match).
