A fit and ready Mesut Ozil has taken to Instagram to show off his keepy-uppy skills ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash against Watford this weekend.

The German has been struggling with a knee injury over the past month and hasn't started a game under Arsene Wenger since September 9, when the Gunners beat Bournemouth 3-0.

Ozil did return against West Brom but could only make the bench.

The creative midfielder was also excluded from Germany's recent squad as Joachim Low allowed the 28-year-old to recover from his injury effectively.

Arsenal face Watford this weekend and look to carry on their run of good form - the Gunners are unbeaten in seven games, winning six.

Judging by his recent Instagram upload, Ozil looks ready to return to the first team fold... should he be selected.

Ozil's contract is up at the end of the season and there are doubts as to whether he will see out the season.

In his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Wenger confirmed the German could well leave.

"Once you are in our kind of situation we have envisaged every kind of solution yes,” said Wenger. "Yes, it’s possible."
