Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac will miss Arsenal's opening week match against Newcastle amid security concerns.

The duo were again targeted by criminals this week after a carjacking attempt last month in two separate incidents.

“Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac will not be part of the squad for our opening match against Newcastle United following further security incidents which are being investigated by the police," released Arsenal in a statement.
