Rosicky undergoes surgery next Tuesday and sets a time for his return

By Aries

The Czech Republic captain Tomas Rosicky is out of Euro 2008 and will have an operation next week to fix a recurring hamstring problem, he said today, Friday.

Rosicky who has not played since January, told a news conference he faced at least two months on the sidelines following the surgery, ruling him out of Euro 2008.

"The injury needs an operation, which I will undergo on Tuesday in London," Rosicky said. "The minimum recovery time is two months. I'm going through the worst period of my footballing career."

This means that the earliest that Tomas will come back will be in the middle of July and then hopefully he will be fit for the start of next season.

Rosicky's absence is a big blow for the Czechs, who are also still sorely missing Juventus winger Pavel Nedved who retired from international football after the 2006 World Cup.

Rosicky said Czech Republic coach Karel Brueckner had plenty of alternatives to fill the key playmaker role.

He has been captain since the 2006 World Cup but said Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech or Fiorentina defender Tomas Ujfalusi were the most obvious candidates to take over the armband for the tournament.

  1. totally unfair thing to say...when he's been healthy he's made a HUGE difference in our squad and is a big player...as a Gunner I'm happy that he'll miss the Euros as it means maybe he'll be fresh at the start of the season and completely recovered. If we'd have had Rosicky this year his goals could have made the difference for us between 1st and 3rd and going out of the CL to a crap Liverpool side

  2. He is an injured show pony just like Hleb and definately not worthy of an Arsenal shirt.

  3. I am really starting to worry about the mental health of Wenger.Now he is slacking off Milan and their history just because they took advantage off Flamini being on a free transfer.Complaining that trophies is not all and that you have got to have a clean History.Excuse me but didnt our beloved Manager GG get sacked for taking a bung ??.Yes we are one of the finest Football clubs in the world but apparently we have a manager with absolutely no ambition of winning trophies he seems content at playing for them.....can you really stay on as a manager at londons finest when you have no ambitoion of winning anything ???

  6. I think that we have to give Tomas the benefit of the doubt. He has has bad luck with injuries and its not as though he doesn't want to play.

    He is a tremendous footballer and he will if fit be a real asset in what's turning out to be a crucial next season.

  8. To every one who doubts Rosicky all I have to tell you all is to be patient...we will all see his best in the coming season..I am so happy that finally he is going under the knife and the problem will be over once and for all...I think Arsenal will see more of shooting from him and fabulousregas which was missing when Rosicky was injuried...any soccer lover who will like to interact with other fans and dicuss any soccer related issues should check out Soccer fan base dot com it is free to join.
