Spaniard picks up Achilles injury in training
Arsenal star Santi Cazorla is likely to miss the remainder of the season after suffering an Achilles injury in training.
The Spaniard was on the brink of a return to first-team football after recovering from a serious knee injury, but it’s now been revealed that he’s suffered a serious injury in training, which could keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Cazorla has been out of action since November, but was expected to make his return in the next few weeks, however, the latest injury could keep him out for a couple more months.
According to reports, the play-maker snapped his Achilles in training and is not expected to feature again this term.
Wenger Confirms Setback
“Santi is not doing too well. He has some Achilles problems that hold him back,” Arsene Wenger said.
“His knee is doing well but his Achilles has inflamed a little bit and we have to put him off impact.
“It is a reaction to him coming back. We have to see now how he responds.
“He had always a little tendonitis on his Achilles and we have to see how he responds to that.”
