Unai Emery has restored Mesut Ozil to Arsenal's starting XI for Sunday's clash with Cardiff City.
Ozil was taken off in the second half of his side's 3-2 loss at Chelsea on August 18 before missing the 3-1 win over West Ham last time out due to illness.
However, the playmaker is selected for the away fixture in the Welsh capital, with the Gunners also including Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette in an attacking line-up.
Asked about Ozil's role with the Gunners, Emery told the media on Friday: "Mesut in his career, he played as a 10 and on the right - when he was playing at Real Madrid, I remember a lot of matches on the right.
"His quality is for playing between the lines. But I spoke with him for his best position on the pitch and I know he can play right and as a 10. And he wants that I can use him for two positions."
