Cazorla said: "Hi guys, the first thing I want to say is thank you for the support, and I will try and come back as soon as possible. Enjoy the game!"

Spain international Cazorla has since undergone ten operations, and suffered a series of infections.

He revealed last year that he feared his foot would be amputated.

But the 33-year-old is once again walking without crutches, and aims to be match fit once more in August.
