Arsenal playmaker Santi Cazorla is back to training with the team after being out for 18 months due to a Achilles injury picked up in fall 2016.
"I've still got some way to go, because after being sidelined for 18 months, everything has to be done in its own time. But the sensations I have keep getting better and I'm feeling optimistic about the future," Cazorla told Spanish magazine AS.
"The objective is to play some part with the team before the season ends, but we have to take things carefully.
"After being out for so long it will take a while to get back into form, it's a real struggle, but when you have been out like I have, you also notice pains elsewhere - apart from what I've had with my tendon.
"But all of that must mean that I am doing things right, and I hope to be back as soon as possible," the midfielder concluded on the matter.
