ARSENAL midfielder Tomas Rosicky could miss the rest of the season if he suffers another setback in his rehabilitation, according to reports in the Sunday Mirror.
The Czech Republic international suffered a mysterious hamstring injury in the Gunners' FA Cup win over Newcastle in January and has not played since.
Medical experts had failed to diagnose the injury but it was eventually found that it concerned Rosicky's tendon. The 28-year-old has since had surgery, with a metal screw being inserted into his leg, but he has suffered discomfort when attempting to run, with the bone around the hamstring thought to have become inflamed.
He is now recuperating and it is thought that he could return to action over the Christmas period, but another lapse could mean he misses the rest of Arsenal's campaign.
