Cazorla to undergo ankle surgery
Santi Cazorla is to undergo ankle surgery which is likely to keep him out for up to three months.
Cazorla has not played for Arsenal since their 6-0 Champions League win over Ludogorets on October 19 but it was hoped he would not require an operation on his troublesome ankle problem.
However, the club have decided surgery is the best course of action, ruling him out for three months.
"Santi Cazorla is travelling to Sweden early next week to undergo surgery to his right ankle," a statement from the Premier League club read.
"The club's medical team and specialists have decided that surgery is required to the plantaris tendon in the Spain international's right foot.
"The problem has not progressed during a rehabilitation programme following the injury during the home match with Ludogorets on October 19.
"We expect Santi's full recovery to take approximately three months.
"Everyone at the club will be working hard with Santi to make sure he's back on the pitch as soon as possible."
