One furious supporter said: "Ozil is ill again... I've never known someone to get ill that many times in a year honestly."
Another added: ""LMAO Ozil ill again. Does he go around licking door handles or something. Because he looked fine on Instagram all week?"
But others suggested that the 25-year-old was recovering from a broken heart after Wenger announced that he will be leaving at the end of the season.
