Rosicky could return for Gunners in time for new season
3:24pm Wednesday 14th May 2008
TOMAS Rosicky could be back in training with Arsenal in time for next season.
The Gunners playmaker (pictured) missed the second half of the season with a nagging knee injury, and is out of the Czech Republic's Euro 2008 campaign next month.
But he underwent surgery in London on Tuesday and has been told he can return to training in eight to ten weeks time.
Rosicky said on his personal website: "I am glad that the true cause of my problems has been found and I hope that I will be fit and could start training as soon as possible."
Czech doctor Vladislav Hospodar, who assisted the surgery, is hopeful that Rosicky's knee problem - which saw doctors stabilise the ligament by two titanium anchors - will not resurface.
Hospodar said: "Now it is properly fixed to restore all the functions, and after the rehabilitation, the problems should be gone."
