Santi Cazorla has been out of the field for a year and a half.

Santi Cazorla, Spanish international from Arsenal, is unable to overcome his bad luck with injuries, as he has had to undergo surgery again, which will delay his return to the field. He has been out of the game for a year and a half, worrying the 'gunners' fans.

Still struggling

'Due to discomfort in the tendon that I had been experiencing in the past few days, I have had to undergo surgery again. I have to postpone my return to the field, but I maintain the excitement and motivation to enjoy my greatest passion, football', announced Santi Cazorla on his official Twitter account.

With this new intervention, Santi Cazorla has now undergone surgery nine times. His problems began in 2015 with ankle discomfort. In October 2016, he had to leave the Champions League match against Ludogorets. The last surgery was on May 30th, and he was diagnosed with five months of recovery time.

This surgery comes when there was speculation that Santi Cazorla could return to the field at the beginning of 2018, as even his coach, Frenchman Arsene Wenger, indicated. Charismatic and highly beloved by his fellow professionals, several of the Spanish national team players he coincided with have wasted no time in showing their support.
