Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits Santi Cazorla's season is over.

The Daily Mail reports Cazorla will not play again this season, with the Spaniard failing to recover from an injury sustained last October.

The Spanish midfielder has been a long-term absence as Arsenal have struggled this year, but had been expected to return in the early part of 2017.

But on Thursday Arsene Wenger confirmed "the season is over for him".

Cazorla has been an instrumental part of Arsenal's play when fit, but this injury is the second time in two years he has missed large chunks of the season.
