Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere and Alexandre Lacazette will not feature in Arsenal’s game against Manchester United on Sunday, April 29 as boss Arsene Wenger has decided to rest seven first-team players for the trip to Old Trafford.
Wenger has admitted that winning the Europa League is now his priority for the season but after the 1-1 draw in the first leg of their semi-final against Atletico Madrid on Thursday evening, Arsenal face a tough task of progressing to next month’s final in Lyon.
To ensure his squad are fresh for the return leg in Madrid next Thursday, Wenger is making wholesale changes to his team for the match against Jose Mourinho’s side.
Ozil, who played a full 90 minutes against Atletico, did not train with his teammates during their light session on Saturday morning and did not travel with the squad to Manchester that afternoon.
Ramsey, Wilshere and Lacazette also started against Atletico but have not made the trip to Manchester.
