Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla targets Man City comeback

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla says he'll be back for their clash with Manchester City.

The Spaniard hadn't appeared since suffering a knee injury in the 1-1 Premier League draw at Norwich on November 29.

But he returned to action in an Under-21 game against Blackburn earlier this week, playing for an hour.

Cazorla said: "I'm very happy to be back.

"It is a great feeling after five months. I need to keep up the hard work with my team-mates in the first team and I want to play the last two games.

"I would like to help the first team at the weekend against Manchester City. [Arsene Wenger] has the decision, but I will try to play at the weekend.

"We need to win the last two games as we want to finish in the top four.

"We need to fight until the end to try to get second place. If we win the last two games, we can do that. I want to help my team-mates."
