As Arsenal's players gear up for this weekend's Emirates Cup, Mesut Ozil is still relaxing on holiday with his girlfriend.
The 25-year-old was spotted with Mandy Capristo relaxing by the pool of their hotel in Las Vegas.
Winning the World Cup with Germany was the perfect end to a mixed season for the former Real Madrid man, but Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Ozil will miss the start of the season after his summer exploits.
The Frenchman said: 'I have given them (Ozil, Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker) a good break because I have experience of players who have been in the World Cup final. You need a rest.
'Will they be ready? Mertesacker prepares well - but for the first game I don't think they will be ready for August 16.'
Arsenal travelled to the US for a pre-season friendly against Thierry Henry's New York Red Bull's last week but lost 1-0.
Arsene Wenger will be hoping that his side can do a little better in their annual pre-season tournament in north London. They face Benfica on Saturday afternoon and Monaco the following day.
