Wenger outlines Cazorla setback for Arsenal

Arsene Wenger is unsure whether Santi Cazorla will feature for Arsenal in April after suffering a setback in his injury rehabilitation.

Arsenal could be without Santi Cazorla for the rest of the season after the Spain international suffered a reaction in his Achilles while undergoing rehabilitation from knee-ligament surgery.

Cazorla has not featured for Arsenal since rupturing his lateral collateral ligament during the 1-1 draw at Norwich City on Nov. 29.

Manager Arsene Wenger had been hopeful the playmaker would return for the second leg of the Champions League last-16 tie at Barcelona later this month but he is no longer so optimistic and feels an April comeback might be out of reach.
