London's "Arsenal" team strategist Arsene Wenger spoke about Santi Cazorla, who has not been playing since October 2016 due to an Achilles tendon injury.
Arsenal's manager said that it is the worst injury he has ever known or seen, but hinted that he hopes the player will return in January.
"It is the worst injury I have ever heard of, starting from a small pain and getting worse and worse.
I know how much he loves playing football and being on the field every day. I feel very sorry for what happened, it's just unbelievable.
I told him to prepare as much as he can, but I haven't spoken to him in a while. I hope he returns.
That's why I didn't include him in the lineup, hoping that he will return in January," the specialist said.
