Santi Cazorla is eager to return to action for Arsenal in Sunday's crucial Premier League clash with Manchester City.
The Spain international played for an hour for Arsenal's Under-21 side on Tuesday after spending five months on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Cazorla, who set up Chris Willock's goal in a 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers, has now set his sights on a place in Arsene Wenger's plans for the trip to the Etihad Stadium as Arsenal go in search of a win which would guarantee a top-four finish.
"I'm very happy to be back," he told Arsenal Player. "It is a great feeling after five months. I need to keep up the hard work with my team-mates in the first team and I want to play the last two games.
