Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky will miss the rest of the
season and is struggling to be fit for this summer's European
Championships, according to the Czech national team's doctor.
The 27-year-old picked up a knee injury in the Gunners' FA Cup
victory over Newcastle United in January and has not played
since.
Doctor Petr Krejci told Czech newspaper Sport: 'It is
possible that the problem could fade away in two weeks, but it
could also last for another three months.
'Since he has already been out for two months, we are in a
tricky situation.
'(Manager) Karel (Bruckner) is also very worried about it. Tomas
is a big player for us and he would be a big loss.
'He can run and jog now but when he does it for a prolonged
period of time it begins to hurt him.
'He would be afraid of sprinting at the moment and as such he is
yet to resume full training. We are not prepared to risk him ahead
of Euro 2008.
'He is already resigned to missing the rest of the Premier
League season, so his priority now is the European
Championships.'
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger raised the possibility Rosicky's
injury could be long term last month.
'It is impossible to say when he will return,' the Frenchman
said. 'It is a frustration for me and him as well. He's a very
genuine guy who wants to play.
'Tomas has an absolutely genuine attitude and is 100% committed,
but he's just not ready. I want him to be happy and play as quickly
as possible and if it is for Arsenal it is even better. If it is
for the Czechs, okay.'
