Mesut Ozil says that the situation at Arsenal is "frustrating for everyone", adding that he wished he could help the team.
The 4-1 defeat against Manchester City in the League Cup quarter-final made it eight games without a win for the Gunners, leaving boss Mikel Arteta under increasing pressure.
Ozil, 32, has been jettisoned from the Arsenal first team, but said in a Twitter Q&A that he wishes "he could help the team especially right now".
"It’s a very difficult time for everyone around the club – not just for me," began Ozil.
"The situation is frustrating for everyone. Of course I would wish I could help the team especially right now, but as long as I don’t get the chance I just hope that we get better results very soon again."
