Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
The Spain international has not played since he was forced to come off in the second half of Arsenal's 6-0 win against Ludogorets in October in the Champions League.
Cazorla has scored two goals for Arsenal this season, against Watford in August and the following month against Southampton.
But a frustrating campaign for Cazorla has now come to an end, leaving him to focus on regaining full fitness for next season.
The 32-year-old joined the Gunners from Malaga for £16.5m in August 2012 and has scored 29 goals in 180 appearances for Arsene Wenger's side.
Wenger had spoken of the importance of Cazorla to the squad following the news of his injury.
"The dressing room needs a balance between experience and youth-team players and you need to be guided as well by some experienced players as well when you go through difficult times," Wenger said.
"They help you always to keep your feet on the ground and keep focused."
