Mesut Ozil suspended by Fenerbahce along with teammate Ozan Tufan

Fenerbahce have confirmed that Mesut Ozil has been suspended with immediate effect, with the Turkish giants sanctioning the former Arsenal star along with Turkish international Ozan Tufan.

A statement released by the club's official social media account reads: "Our Football A Team players Mesut Özil and Ozan Tufan have been excluded from the squad as per the decision taken. It is announced to the public."

Ozil joined Fenerbahce last January after Mikel Arteta made the decision to sanction his exit, terminating his contract six months before it was due to officially expire. However, his lack of match fitness showed in his first half-season with the Turkish giants, registering just one assist in 10 Super Lig matches.
