Rosicky blow for Arsenal

Rosicky blow for Arsenal

Arsenal star Tomas Rosicky admits he has no chance of being fit for the start of the new Premier League season. The Czech Republic playmaker, who missed Euro 2008 through injury, was forced to undergo surgery on his knee last May. The 27-year-old is now expected to make his comeback in September, a month later than expected.

"I know I'll miss the start of the club season," he told Czech daily Sport.

"According to plans I should be back on the field in September.

"I've been walking without crutches for three weeks and preparing myself to train for two," he added on his personal website.

"The sadness of missing half a year, the surgery and the fact that I missed Euro 2008 has become dull. Coaches don't allow me to think about it.

"The coaches have told me to start with jogging in the next week. Without fitness drills, coach Arsene Wenger will not pick me for a game, I think."
