Arsenal has been hit by Santi Cazorla latest injury, has the midfielder will be out of action for another five months.
Carzola has been hit by a setback in his recovery.
But the Arsenal midfielder confirmed that he has agreed a new deal.
The 32-year-old has not featured for Arsenal since a 6-0 Champions League win over Ludogorets in October due to an ankle injury.
Cazorla underwent surgery for an eighth time this week and he has now revealed a return to action is still far away.
"I have not been given a timeframe for my comeback," Cazorla told Cadena Ser.
"It is very difficult to put a date on it, but I think it will be another five months.
"It has been since October that I last played. I have undergone eight surgeries, the last one Monday. I hope that things go better. I have had complications since November. I got a bacterial infection in surgery, my bone got infected, the wound would not close and I had a graft done.
"It was the worst season of my career. You feel like throwing in the towel, but my desire to play football is above everything."
The former Villarreal star made 11 appearances in all competitions in 2016-17, scoring twice.
Cazorla confirmed his contract with Arsenal, which had been due to expire in June, has been renewed.
"Arsenal were very good to me, they renewed me before my operation, the manager talked to me and gave me peace of mind," he added.
