Arsenal need to salvage some pride when we take on Bayern Munich in the second leg of our Champions League last-16 tie this evening.

The Express claim that Mesut Ozil has made a shock return to the squad after initially being ruled out by Arsene Wenger due to the illness that kept him out against Liverpool at the weekend.

The newspaper says that Ozil has been called up, despite not being 100% fit, as Alex Iwobi has been ruled out due to illness while Alexis Sanchez is back in the starting eleven after being dropped at Anfield following a reported bust-up in training.

Theo Walcott also gets a recall in attack with Danny Welbeck keeping his place after scoring against Liverpool on Saturday evening.

Stay tuned for the full confirmed line-up which should be announced any minute….
