Arsenal's Arsene Wenger suggests Mesut Ozil still recovering from penalty miss

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger suggests that Mesut Ozil has not yet recovered from missing a penalty against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested that midfielder Mesut Ozil is still struggling after missing a penalty in their defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The German international had the chance to give the Gunners the lead in the first leg of their round-of-16 tie against Bayern at the Emirates on Wednesday, but squandered the opportunity.

Despite the Bundesliga outfit also missing from the spot during the clash, they managed to secure a 2-0 advantage in the tie.

"Is he over it now? Certainly not," Wenger said in a press conference. "Just 48 hours is a bit short to get over that, but it is part of this job to deal with disappointment and show that you can respond to it. He apologised after the game.

"I don't think that people are not shocked by the fact he missed a penalty because Bayern missed one as well. He takes his penalties in an unusual way, so people are maybe a little bit less comprehensive. You have to accept it or not. Look, I believe that at the moment, we have to let him recover from that."

Arsenal are preparing for tomorrow's Premier League match against Sunderland.
