Football: Rosický recovering from injury in Prague

Captain of the Czech football team Tomáš Rosický will recover from a recurring knee tendonitis which has made him doubtful for Euro 2008 in his homeland, the player announced on his website on Monday. The midfielder’s website said that following agreement with the Arsenal management, Rosický’s rehabilitation would continue in Prague. Rosický has been sidelined through injury since January. His continued absence from club and country prompted Czech football federation chiefs and team doctors to voice concerns last week over whether the key 27-year-old would be fit for June’s Euro 2008 championships. Rosický attempted to allay fears by saying that in the last few days he has been feeling a bit better.
