January comeback plans were shelved after a NINTH op last week.
Wenger said: “I sent a message to Santi to wish him well after the surgery and he said, ‘Look, I have to start again from zero’.
“It is very sad. What this guy’s gone through is unbelievable and now he has to start again.
“This is a real pain, it’s terrible news — I was hopeful that he’d come back in January but that was before this setback.
