Arsenal's Czech Republic midfielder Tomas
Rosicky has undergone more surgery on his injured left
knee.
Rosicky has not played since January when he suffered the tendon
injury in an FA Cup match against Newcastle.
The 28-year-old Czech Republic captain, who was operated on in
Germany on Tuesday, first had surgery in May.
"The operation went as planned and Tomas will now spend at least
a few weeks convalescing in Germany," said an Arsenal
statement.
"Thereafter he will follow a tailored rehabilitation programme
devised by our medical team."
Last month Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he was hopeful
Rosicky would be back in action before the end of the year.
Rosicky has made just 61 first-team appearances for Arsenal
since joining from Borussia Dortmund in May 2006. <!-- E BO
