Arsenal star Santi Cazorla could be set to miss the remainder of the season after undergoing knee surgery.
The Spaniard picked up a serious knock against Norwich City last weekend, but continued to finish the match due to Arsene Wenger already making all his substitutions.
Cazorla received a hefty kick to his knee from a Norwich midfielder, and it was revealed afterwards that he actually did serious ligament damage, meaning he played most of the second-half one basically one leg.
The initial feedback showed Cazorla being out for around three-months, but he’s since undergone surgery and it’s now looking likely that he’ll miss the remainder of the season.
The 30-year-old flew back to Spain in order to have the surgery and it’s now looking likely he’ll miss at least four months, leaving him sidelined until April.
Cazorla has joined a long-list of injuries at the Emirates Stadium and Arsenal will now have to deal without him and Francis Coquelin, who had built up a brilliant partnership in the heart of the midfield.
