Is Arsenal head coach Unai Emery about to bring in Mesut Ozil from the cold?
The 31-year-old has barely featured for the Gunners this season. His one and only Premier League start came in the 2-2 draw away at Watford after the September international break.
Then after being left out of the trip to Eintracht Frankfurt, he was an unusued substitute in the win over Aston Villa a few days later and then didn't complete 90 minutes of the 5-0 thrashing against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup.
And that's the last time Ozil has made an Arsenal matchday squad.
Much to the surprise of many Gunners supporters, the former Germany international has been left at home for games against Manchester United, Standard Liege, Bournemouth and Sheffield United.
Speaking ahead of the trip to Bramall Lane - a game which the visitors struggled to create chances in the 1-0 defeat - Emery outlined just how Ozil could earn a recall to his squad.
With that said, is Thursday's game against Vitoria in the Champions League where the playmaker finally returns?
Well, Ozil did train with the Gunners squad at London Colney on Wednesday afternoon where an exchange between himself and the Spanish head coach was captured by Hayters TV.
The German walks over to Emery and shakes his hand and all seemed quite normal.
However, as the video carries on you can see that Emery continues his conversation with Ozil which lasts at least 30 seconds.
It's not clear as to what was said between the pair, but there was a lot of gesturing.
Even the likes of Dani Ceballos, Sead Kolasniac and Gunners legend Robert Pires who all came over to shake Emery's hand didn't want to interrupt the deep conversation.
