In the week, the Spanish midfielder began easy training, but immediately received disappointing news regarding his state of health.

As it turned out, Santi continues to experience pain, because he will need another operation on the Achilles, which will not allow him to return to the field from the beginning of the new year.

This situation was very upset the head coach of the "Gunners" Arsene Wenger.

"This is a disaster," said Arsen.

"I really feel sorry for Santi, since we all really love him. For every training he comes with a smile on his face - that's how much he is in love with football. I admire Cazorla ".

"This is a huge blow for him, which will not be easy to cope with. I hope he returns to the field in January, as planned in advance, "- concluded Wenger.

Earlier, Cazorla told how barely he completely lost his leg, which could be amputated.
