Santi Cazorla will not return for the first team this season.

The Spain international had a light session at Emirates Stadium last week and took part in training at London Colney on Saturday and Tuesday. But he will have to wait longer for competitive football.

“He will not be ready to play in the final game,” confirmed Arsene Wenger.

“We basically have four players who are out if you count Cazorla, Koscielny, Ozil and Elneny. Everybody else will be checked because we had a day off on Monday.

“Will I leave one or two out? It’s possible for tomorrow because we play again on Sunday and some of them played in Madrid on Thursday and then on Sunday. I will check medically today.”
