Long-term absentee Tomas Rosicky
has revealed that he is not worried about his latest injury
setback.
The Arsenal midfielder has been out of action for over a year
with a hamstring tendon injury and after numerous failed comebacks
still finds himself sidelined.
This time, after manager Arsene Wenger had confirmed that the
Czech Republic ace would return to first team training in two
weeks, a groin injury has delayed his latest comeback by an extra
week.
Despite yet more disappointment for the 28-year-old he insists
that he has not been perturbed and declares he feels almost back to
normal.
"I don't want to jinx it, but it seems that my football life is
getting back to normal," he told his own website.
"Had the groin problem not occurred, and the
groin injury is nothing serious, I would have most likely been
already training with the first team.
"The most important thing is that the place where I have the
cursed hamstring is okay and endures the training sessions."
The groin injury is likely to rule Rosicky out of the upcoming
international matches but he appears to be over the worst of an
injury which forced him to question whether he would ever play
again.
"I can't wait to start playing and the stress which made me feel
low in the past is now gone," he added.
"During the injury I was having various thoughts in my mind. For
instance, that I would never play football again.
"Fortunately with the return to a normal football routine with
training sessions, in which I have constantly been doing
improvements, the stress has gone away.
"The groin is not a thing which should prevent me from returning
and I feel safe."
