The Arsenal attacker was dropped from the starting XI for the Sweden clash following a lacklustre performance in Germany's 1-0 defeat to Mexico last weekend.

Toni Kroos came up with a last-gasp winner on Saturday night as the world champions kept their destiny in their own hands, and Ozil has lavished praise on his teammates for getting the job done.

What! A! Fight! 💪🏼🔥 We are one team - on and off the pitch. No matter what they say. 😎 #DieMannschaft #BestNeverRest #HereToCreate #GERSWE @woodyinho pic.twitter.com/GA6UauaOT4
