Emery is '100% confident' Ozil and Kolasinac are ready to play this weekend

Arsenal manager Unai Emery is "100% confident" Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac are mentally ready to play against Burnley on Saturday.

The pair were left out of the Gunners' season-opening win over Newcastle because of "further security fears" after being involved in a carjacking attempt by an armed gang in July.

Midfielder Ozil and left-back Kolasinac have retuned to training.

Two men have since been charged with a public order offence.

Arsenal pulled Ozil, 30, and 25-year-old Kolasinac from the away game at St James' Park because of "further security incidents".

The Spaniard told reporters when pressed on whether the pair are mentally ready for competitive action: “Yes [I’m] 100 per cent [confident]. One hundred per cent with them. Their mentality, their focus is with us, for training and matches.

“I want to help them to live with normality with us, training, thinking and focussing on each training and each match.

“They came back training with us the first day on Tuesday. They had the day off but came to start training with us.

“Ozil was a little sick. He didn’t train yesterday [Wednesday] but today he is getting better.

“But each training session gives us good information and different options with them, also for us to decide whether to take the option that they can play on Saturday the first 11.

“For us first it is like a person, after like a player but we will wait for tomorrow the last training.

“If they are training consistently each day with normal work, each training I am going to decide and achieve the best solution in each moment. It is positive they are with us now.

“When they are training consistently every day it is good news for us because we can chose them to help us and the first match is Saturday.”

Ferhat Ercan, of Highgate, and Salaman Ekinci, of Tottenham, were arrested on 8 August outside the north London home of former Germany player Ozil, and have since been charged.

Mr Ercan and Mr Ekinci, both 27, are due to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court on 6 September.

Police said they were treating the public order offence and the attempted car-jacking as separate incidents.
