They've just been knocked out of the EFL Cup following a 2-0 home defeat to Southampton, they had one of their fans doing his homework at the match and now there's even more bad news for Arsenal fans.

The official Arsenal website confirmed that Santi Cazorla will have surgery on his right ankle next week as a result of a recurring problem with his tendon.

Cazorla has not played for over a month, with his latest appearance coming in a 6-0 thumping of Ludogorets on 19 October in the Champions League at the Emirates.

His surgery is set to keep him sidelined for around three months in what is a huge blow for Arsenal.

Cazorla has been a key cog in Arsenal's system and statistics highlight just how important the former Malaga man is to the club. Not only do Arsenal have a much better win ratio with the Spaniard in the side, but Mesut Ozil also goes up another gear when Cazorla is present.

As is normal, Arsenal fans had a bit of a meltdown when they were informed of the news.
