Denis Suarez has confirmed he will not play again this season after suffering a groin injury in Arsenal's Europa League game against BATE Borisov.
The 25-year-old joined the north London club on-loan from Barcelona in January but has found his time at the Emirates curtailed by a groin complaint.
He failed to make a single start for the club and has played just 67 minutes worth of football in the Premier League.
Suarez, who is paid £55,000 per week by the Gunners, revealed the news in a statement on Twitter.
'I will not be able to play again this season,' said Suarez.
'Some issues with my groin have made things tough since the game against BATE in the Europa League in February and now they have forced me to stop training altogether.
'I am sorry for all the effort and sacrifice made to come to Arsenal hasn't come to fruition as hoped and you can't even imagine how angry I am about it, but health comes first.'
The Spaniard's ill-fated loan-spell instantly brings to mind the dismal January acquisition of Kim Kallstrom back in January 2014.
The Swede famously struggled with a back injury after signing on loan from Spartak Moscow under Unai Emery's predecessor Arsene Wenger.
But even he managed to play more minutes for the Gunners than Suarez, racking up a comparatively enormous 135 minutes for the club.

Who knows he may have actually been quite useful last couple of games but I guess hindsight is 20:20. Shame for him, seems to have had a stop start career. From the very little of him I’ve seen I don’t think he’s bad, I think he’d do a midtable side decent but I think he’s better suited to Spain. Good luck to him hope he finds a club he can be a regular at.

What a weird loan that was. He came when we were in an injury crisis and still barely got any minutes before the important players came back. And when Ramsey got injured he still couldn't contribute.

Shame we never really got to see him strut his stuff. Had his glimpses where he looked good but just wish he could have started a couple games here and there.
