The £42m midfielder was excused from duty at Newcastle in Saturday’s 2-1 win and allowed to return home early to Germany ahead of this week’s international double-header, which starts with a game against Australia on Wednesday and ends with a trip to Georgia on Sunday.
Ozil will be expected to return to north London within 48 hours of that game and Wenger’s first act is expected to be a face-to-face meeting in which he will express his disappointment that Ozil has tarnished the image of the club.
The 26-year-old was seen out at the Pearl Nightclub in Berlin the same night as the trip to St James’s Park, raising question marks over his inability to travel with the squad.

The Poland goalkeeper was fined £20,000 and has struggled to keep his place since, sharing goalkeeping duties with David Ospina.
