Arsenal superstar training hard to be fit in time for Napoli clash

Spanish playmaker Santi Cazorla, who last featured for Arsenal in the North London Derby, is hoping to be fit for Napoli’s visit to the Emirates in a week’s time. Cazorla, who injured his ankle on international duty, has missed the last 3 games for Arsenal. Santi’s injury is healing well, and he told Sphera Sports ‘I hope to be back shortly. Every day I’m feeling better and I’m working on all ways to reduce my downtime.It all depends on how I train and strengthen my ankle. As the days go by I am doing more things and if all goes well I will try to return for the game against Napoli, but that’s not certain.’Arsenal have fared well without their 2012-2013 Player of the Year, winning all the three matches he has missed, owing to the fact that Mesut Ozil has walked into the team and replaced him. The prospect of Cazorla and Ozil pairing together will be mouthwatering and Arsenal fans will be craving for them to play side by side. Cazorla will now be needed more than ever since Walcott will be out until the International break,and Arsenal have no fit first team wide players left in their squad. Cazorla is optimistic about the season after Arsenal’s strong start. The Spaniard said, ‘Hopefully we win the title, but it is too early to talk about it. The beginning is very good. After the first loss the team is performing at a good level. We are consistent, that is what we lacked last season. Furthermore, the incorporation of Mesut Ozil has given us a big leap in quality. ‘Hopefully we can now become one of the great teams and that gives us the chance to fight for the title.’
