Santi Cazorla earns Spain recall for the first time since 2015 after impressing for Villarreal

Villarreal’s Santi Cazorla has been recalled to Spain’s squad after four years ravaged by injury.


The former Arsenal midfielder played only 23 league games across his final two seasons in north London due to a serious and recurring Achilles injury forcing him to have up to 10 separate operations, which almost forced him to retire.

Santi Cazorla is back in the Spain squad for the first time since 2015


But he has bounced back since returning to LaLiga, making 45 appearances in all competitions this season, with seven goals and helping the Yellow Submarine to the Europa League quarter-finals.











That form has earned the 34-year-old a recall to Luis Enrique’s squad for Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands on June 7 and Sweden three days later.


Cazorla, who made his international debut, will be hoping to add to his 77 caps.


Real Sociedad’s Mikel Oyarzabal also returns for the first time since making his only senior international appearance as a substitute against Switzerland in 2016.
