Crocked by Fortnite? Mesut Ozil back injury woes could be due to ‘video game addiction,’ doctor says

Still working hard to come back as soon as possible after my back injury. Special thanks to our fitness coach Shad Forsythe for the support every day 🙏🏼🔴 #YaGunnersYa 💥 #M1Ö #COYG @Arsenal pic.twitter.com/bsTlouxfNR
