Cazorla set to miss remainder of the season
Santi Cazorla has suffered a setback in his recovery from ankle surgery, with the prospects of him featuring for Arsenal this season fading.
Cazorla made the last of his 11 appearances this term in October's 6-0 Champions League win over Ludogorets, when he took a kick to his Achilles.
The 32-year-old's ankle condition did not improve and he underwent surgery in December, with an initial prognosis of a three-month absence.
Arsenal is not in a position to confirm whether Cazorla's latest setback means he will not feature before the end of the current campaign, but it is understood the ex-Villarreal man's new target is pre-season ahead of 2017-2018.
