CROCKED: Ozil feels the pain against Leicester [GETTY]
The Gunners star missed Germany's 4-2 defeat at the hands of Argentina on Wednesday night due to an injury picked up against Leicester.
Ozil went down late on in the 1-1 draw at The King Power Stadium but did fly out late to meet up with his international team-mates.
Germany manager Joachim Low confirmed that Ozil was 'doubtful' to play in the world champions' Euro qualifying campaign opener against Scotland on Sunday.

Here, Starsport takes a look at how some familiar faces have got on with their countries.
New Chelsea ace Loic Remy netted the only goal as France defeated Spain in Paris.
The £10.5m man netted in the 73rd minute to earn Didier Deschamps' side the honours.
A host of English-based players featured for the French, includingHugo Lloris, Mahmoudou Sakho, Mathieu Debuchy andMorgan Schneiderlin, while Cesar Azpilicueta, Cesc Fabregas, Santi Cazorla and Diego Costa started for Spain.
Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko netted for Bosnia as they cruised to a 3-0 win over minnows Liechtenstein. Stuttgart's Vedad Ibisevic got the other two.
On Wednesday, Manchester United and England captain Wayne Rooney netted the only goal from the penalty spot in his first match skippering the Three Lions.
Roy Hodgson's side were largely uninspiring in the 1-0 friendly win over Norway at Wembley.
Meanwhile, United's new £60m star Angel Di Maria helped Argentina gain revenge for their World Cup final defeat to Germany with a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win.
Man City's Sergio Aguero and Tottenham ace Erik Lamela were also on target for the south Americans in Dusseldorf.
Arsene Wenger's side are in a much stronger position than they were following the summer window, writes John Cross, but a holding midfielder would have been good
But in how good a shape does it leave the Gunners for the next few months?
John Cross has all the answers.
Are fans happy with this summer's transfers?
I think they are - with a bit of a caveat. Arsenal didn't get the holding midfielder they needed - and look a bit short defensively, too. The big deal was Alexis Sanchez for £33m and that's a game changer, a real world class signing.
Mathieu Debuchy is an upgrade on Bacary Sagna, Calum Chambers has been a revelation, David Ospina a good back-up and Danny Welbeck a good last minute deal. Excellent overall.
Best buy and why?
Calum Chambers. Arsenal have got one of English football's emerging talents for £16m and he can play centre back, holding midfielder in the future and right back. A really good deal.

Was there one who got away?
For my money, Sami Khedira. There was genuine interest there but the overall package - transfer fee and wages - was expensive and there were some doubts over his fitness, after all he missed much of last season with a knee injury.
Arsenal needed a holding midfielder and it's a shame they didn't get one. But word is that Khedira also may have something lined up next summer when he's a free agent. Watch this space.
Is the squad better than it was at the start of the summer?
Unquestionably. Arsenal look much stronger. They have bought well, they also responded on deadline day by signing Danny Welbeck to address a striker crisis. Welbeck is an excellent signing - full of pace, power and potential.
Who's been left in the cold?
It's a big left field, but Joel Campbell. I don't think he'll get much of a look-in and Arsenal thought about letting him go which suggests they don't see him as much of a first teamer despite his impressive performances in the World Cup.
David Price
All gone quiet: Joel Campbell hasn't been getting much of a look-in
Where do they still need to strengthen?
Holding midfielder. Plus a centre half. At the moment, they only have a back-up of Chambers to cover if Laurent Koscielny (currently nursing an Achilles injury) and Per Mertesacker. Nacho Monreal may play the odd game there. But it's a gamble.
I'm amazed they didn't get a centre half. They tried a few but Wenger didn't want to block Chambers' progress to the team. Chambers is too good to be stopped. And Wenger must worry about the club not individuals.
Will there be any more additions in January?
If you look in recent times, Wenger hasn't done much in January unless it's because of a glaring problem. Last year, they had a striker shortage so he bought an injured midfielder in Kim Kallstrom. That's Wenger logic for you. I think where you might see an addition is at centre half if there is an injury to Koscielny or Mertesacker. Why does Wenger always leave himself so short?!
Arsenal and Liverpool face threat from Man Utd in race to sign Dortmund’s Marco Reus
Arsenal and Liverpool face a battle to land Marco Reus with Manchester United preparing a January bid in an effort to secure his services, according to reports.
The 25-year-old attacker has been tracked by a number of clubs with Real Madrid thought to be in pole position.
Reus had been caught in the crossfire of transfer speculation after German rivals Bayern Munich revealed that Reus has a release fee of £20m, which kicks in next year.
The Gunners made a late effort to sign Reus on transfer deadline day but were thwarted in their attempts, with boss Arsene Wenger prepared to make his move at the end of the season now.
But they could miss out with Man United preparing a January bid that eclipses his release fee in the hope of convincing Dortmund to do business, the Telegraph reports.
United boss Louis van Gaal has already splashed the cash this summer and wants more recruits as he looks to turn around his flagging squad.
