On the morning of November 3, on the cover of the latest newspaper issue, Marca published a close-up photo of midfielder Santi Cazorla's injury. In this image, it can be seen that Cazorla's right heel is quite deformed.
The reason is because he suffered a near-an Heel injury in October 2016. It was thought to be just a "gout" wound, but no, it took this midfielder out of action for nearly a year and a half with 8 surgeries.
Doctors who directly operated on Cazorla shared that there was a time when they intended to completely amputate his right foot due to too many necroses that caused severe infections. And if he had his leg amputated, Cazorla's life would not be guaranteed. However, luckily, that terrible thing did not happen. However, the Arsenal midfielder was still taken 8cm of his right tendon to ensure everything was under control.
Now that he has completed all surgeries, Cazorla can walk normally and no longer feel pain. Not only that, the possibility of him returning to professional competition early is quite high.
Sharing about Cazorla's situation, coach Arsene Wenger said he saw optimism signals from his student. In the immediate future, the French "Three Lions" will let Cazorla play a few friendly matches with the youth team to regain his feeling. If everything goes well, this midfielder can return to play in January 2018.
Santi Cazorla joined Arsenal in 2012 after leaving Malaga. So far, he has scored 25 goals for the Gunners in 129 appearances.
