Football: Rosický’s Arsenal return remains unclear

The manager of the London football club Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, has admitted that a return date for injured Czech midfielder Tomáš Rosický remains unclear. That has led to broad speculation the 28-year-old, who has been out of action since January 2008, might never return to the team. Rosický, who has captained the Czech national side and remains one of the Czech Republic’s most respected players, suffered a injury last year that has continued to baffle doctors. The player has undergone two knee operations but been unable to return to the pitch. Some sources have suggested Rosický’s future with Arsenal could be further threatened following an explosive start by fellow player Andrey Arshavin.
