Santi Cazorla: The Arsenal player's leg was rotten

The 32-year-old player from Spain played last week in October 2016.

He was surgery on his left foot leg two months later.

But despite eight surgeries, his ulcer did not get it and instead he got sick.

Cazorla told Marca newspaper that the disease had "eaten" the tip of his right leg.

"A half-inch [8 cm] thick was missing," he says.

Despite a number of successful treatments, there was still worry that the former Villarreal and Malaga player would lose his leg due to infections in his blood.

The last time he was surgery was 29 May.

At that time the doctors transplanted the skirt from his left hand - which has a sharp edge on his right leg.

Since then, Cazorla has been participating in the exercise and said he expects to be a good player at the party.
