Cazorla has been working hard with Arsenal fitness coach Tony Colbert and hopes to transition from running to more high-intensity work. The 31-year-old Spain international has been out of action since November with knee ligament damage.
But before he can even think of stepping on the pitch at White Hart Lane, Cazorla is rumored to eye a return to action on 29th February in Arsenal’s under-21 match against Wolves.
