SANTI CAZORLA has revealed how Arsene Wenger supported him with final contract whilst he suffered nightmare injury set back.
The Spaniard faced a distressing scenario that he might not be able to return to the football pitch again.
The 33-year-old suffered injury complications during his last few seasons at Arsenal and was forced to undergo numerous surgeries.
In which during that time period Cazorla reveals that former Arsenal boss Wenger gave him the chance to renew his contract in the 2016-17 season.
Wenger was well aware that Cazorla would be out for a lengthy period of time but wanted to offer him the security.
Carola added: “Arsene always supported me. He renewed my contract before the first operation, which was an incredible gesture.”
“He called me in and said: ‘Santi, I’m going to give you the optional year. It’s here, sign it, have your operation with peace of mind.’ That helped me focus on my rehabilitation without fear. I’m eternally grateful for that.”
The midfielder spoke about his traumatic operations he underwent in an interview with The Guardian.
During the season of 16/17 Cazorla was a key play-maker for Arsenal and had made 11 appearances and scored twice.
However all that was sadly about to change when he injured his right Achilles tendon during a Champions League match against Ludogorets Razgrad on 19 October 2016.
Cazorla sustained the injury from a challenge while providing an assist for a Mesut Özil goal in the 6–0 victory.

Whilst normal rehabilitation did not prove effective and in December it was confirmed that he would require surgery.
He revealed: “Half-times killed me, because it got cold, I’d be crippled at the start of the second half and the pain got worse and worse. That night, I cried; it had become too much. I had to stop. Then the problems started.”
“I picked it up in the operating theatre and then there was the fact that the wound was open. I’d work on the bike and a couple of stitches would come out.”
“Because it was an open wound, bacteria can enter, so another bug gets in. At night, a yellow liquid would come out. Every time they sewed me up, it split again; more liquid.”
“They did a skin graft but they didn’t see what was inside – the bacteria eating away, eating away. They never found out which bacteria it was.”
Cazorla went through eight operations on the problem which was the ankle originally having been damaged playing for Spain in 2013 and contracted gangrene on the affected area with the infection ‘eating’ part of the tendon.
It had been feared that he could be unable to walk again or could even lose the affected leg. The condition required antibiotic treatment and a skin graft.
Cazorla temporarily relocated to Salamanca to complete a further recovery programme.
He added they had told him: “Don’t worry about playing football, concentrate on regaining a normal life, being able to play with your son or go for a stroll.’ But I didn’t attach too much importance to that because by then I’d already decided to come to Spain, where they told me completely different things.”
The Spanish international has now defeated all odds and is back on the pitch after returning to Villarreal last month – his unveiling if you have yet to see it is worth the watch!

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
