Arsenal star, Cazorla undergoes fresh surgery on Achilles

Arsenal playmaker, Santi Cazorla, has suffered a fresh setback in a bid to come back from a long-standing Achilles problem, Owojela’s Blog learnt.

The 32-year-old has not featured for the Gunners since October 2016 and has now gone under the knife again.

“Due to some discomfort in the tendon that I had been dragging the last few days, I had to go through the operating room again.

“It is time to delay the return date to the playing fields, I maintain the enthusiasm and motivation to return to enjoy my great passion, football,” he tweeted on Wednesday.

Cazorla, who was initially expected to return in November, called the 2016/2017 campaign “the worst season of his career.”

In June this year, he underwent his eighth operation since picking up the injury.
