Before Arsenal match against Atletico Madrid Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla was seen kicking a ball at Arsenal pitch for the first time since October 2016. The Spanish midfielder has since undergone nine operations, at one stage using skin on his achilles from his arm where he had his daughter’s named tattooed. After Cazorla’s foot was infected there was even a consideration whether doctors would amputate it. Arsene Wenger has answered a question whether the fans would see him again playing for Arsenal as the player’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season. “He feels well. But he needs a full preparation and pre-season to try to come back. Will he come back, and where? I don’t know. Will he stay at Arsenal? I don’t know,” the manager said. https://twitter.com/charles_watts/status/989551760585953280
