Rosicky Undergoes Revision Surgery In Germany


The last time Tomas Rosicky turned out in an Arsenal shirt he had to be substituted after only nine minutes.

Since the FA Cup tie against Newcastle United in late January, Arsene Wenger has gone on to describe the Czech international midfielder's hamstring injury as "not a serious one but a strange one."

But ten months later Rosicky has still not kicked a football in competitive action and the 28-year old has now undergone revision surgery in an attempt to nurse the perma-crocked star back to peak match fitness.

A statement on the Gunners' official website confirmed: "Tomas Rosicky yesterday underwent routine revision surgery in Germany.

"The operation went as planned and Tomas will now spend at least a few weeks convalescing in Germany.

"Thereafter he will follow a tailored rehabilitation progamme devised by our medical team."
