It's still sinking in - Cazorla revels in remarkable Spain recall
Santi Cazorla has acknowledged he found it hard to imagine ever playing for Spain again after injuries threatened to cut short his career.
Cazorla was a surprise inclusion in Spain's squad for the upcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Sweden, with the former Arsenal playmaker returning to the national team for the first time since 2015.
The final years of Cazorla's time at Arsenal were blighted by injuries, but the 34-year-old has enjoyed a resurgence for Villarreal this season, scoring seven goals in 45 appearances across all competitions.
His form at club level has led to an international recall, something the midfielder admitted was beyond his "wildest dreams".
