Arsenal star Mesut Ozil ruled out of EFL Cup tie against Doncaster with inflamed knee

Mesut Ozil's knee will miss Wednesday's League Cup clash against Doncaster with an inflamed knee.

Ozil remains sidelined with the knee problem which meant the German missed the trip to Chelsea.

Wenger said: "Mesut is training again, but for (Wednesday), no (he will not feature). He has a little inflammation of his knee."

Defender Calum Chambers will be included against Doncaster.

"It will be a similar team to the one that played against Cologne," Wenger added.

Goalkeeper David Ospina, club captain Per Mertesacker, Mohamed Elneny, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud all started against Cologne before dropping out of the starting line-up for Sunday's draw at Stamford Bridge.

Wenger's priority against Doncaster will be to build on the morale-boosting point and performance at Chelsea, where Arsenal had lost on five previous visits, and carry momentum into the West Brom contest.
