Aaron Ramsey may not have travelled with the squad, but you can expect Mesut Özil to line up for Arsenal on Wednesday evening.
The Gunners are in Croatia to play Dinamo Zagreb as the Champions League 2015/16 group stage gets underway, and Özil is already anticipating hearing that famous anthem once again.

The midfielder has played in the competition 54 times, scoring five goals and clearly can’t wait for the next campaign to begin.
Competing in the Champions League really is the pinnacle of club football, so it’s no wonder he is excited once again. Hopefully Mesut and the rest of the team do the business and return from Zagreb with all three points.
