Mesut Ozil last played for Arsenal on Boxing Day in the 1-0 win over West Brom.
He has since been sidelined with a mystery illness, missing the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace and 3-3 draw with Bournemouth.
And Arsene Wenger has confirmed he is unlikely to feature against Preston in the Third Round of the FA Cup on Saturday (5.30pm).

Wenger defends Mesut Özil ahead of West Brom clash
“Ozil is coming in today and will be assessed by the doctor,” Wenger said.
“He has been out for two weeks in bed and I can’t imagine he’ll be involved.”
Ozil has been a big miss for the Gunners who have slipped to fifth in his absence.
The Germany international has scored nine goals and provided seven assists already this season.
He is said to be locked in ongoing contract talks with the Gunners, along with team-mate Alexis Sanchez.
His contract at the Emirates runs until June 2018.
