Arsenal star Santi Cazorla has reportedly been ruled out of action for three months after suffering knee ligament damage.
The Spain international was substituted during the Gunners' 1-1 draw with Norwich City at Carrow Road on Sunday.
There have been reports that the playmaker will miss next week's must-win Champions League match against Olympiacos in Greece, but it seems that the layoff will extend much further.
According to The Guardian, Arsenal are yet to learn the full extent of the injury, but they expect to be without Cazorla until around March.
Meanwhile, it is believed that Alexis Sanchez, who hurt his hamstring in the game at the weekend, will miss the festive schedule as a result of the injury.
