Arsenal are a club synonymous with injury problems, so today’s revelation that Gunners midfielder Tomas Rosicky is out for the next two months comes as no shock whatsoever.
Nevertheless, Rosicky’s absence comes as a blow for Arsenal, as he could miss games against Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United in the Premier League.
The Gunners host Liverpool on Monday August 24, then visit Chelsea in mid-September, before starting October with a game against United at the Emirates.
Rosicky, who just underwent knee surgery, may also miss games against Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Stoke City and Leicester City.
The 34-year-old’s agent, Pavel Paska, said: [Rosicky] “underwent an arthroscopic surgery on his knee on August 4. The recovery is expected to take four to eight weeks.”
