Czech play-maker Tomáš Rosický has been penciled in to make his come back from injury in Arsenal’s Reserves League South clash with Chelsea on the 23rd of March.
Rosický returned to training in early February, and the initial assessment of his return was very promising, with Arsène Wenger saying he looked ‘unbelievably strong’ in training. He recently rejoined the rest of the group at London Colney, and is making significant inroads towards a return.
The Chelsea clash is the final Reserves game of March, and leads into a busy April with back-to-back fixtures with Tottenham adding up to a tasty penultimate month of the season.
Wenger has already confirmed his desire for Tomáš to play in the Reserves before coming back into the first-team, and with Neil Banfield’s great record of easing some of the Frenchman’s prized possession back to action, expect the Czech skipper to be featuring in a handful of second string games before the end of April.

This will be great news to Wenger.
Wenger will suddenly feel that he has the largest attacking squad in the Premier League.
GREAT NEWS!!! THANKS M8:)
YESSSS Tomas!!! welcome back . . . welcome back . . .
gd news
That’s really good news!!1
Who?
I’m kidding. Will be great to see Tomas back in action.
I sure hope you are right J. We have really missed Thomas.
At least! Great news. Thanks, Jamie.
Great news, thanks JS!
great news. Cheers for the info sanderson
get in there tomas please get back before put cl games and our FA cup with chelsea if we beat hull
wow that is so great, rosicky is class and arsenal have been missing him a lot, before we had pires and ljungberg scoring lots of goals for us from midfield, and rosicky walcott and arshavin if deployed there can have similar succes on the wings,am so looking forward for his return, hopefully he hasnt lost his pace that much
That’s great news considering how good a player he is (although now that we have Walcott, Arshavin, Nasri and Eboue playing well he may not be needed so much this season).
Also, if Arsenal don’t have any reserves games in March after the 23rd, he surely won’t be able to play for at least another week (unless he gets a place on the bench in whatever first team game we have in that week).
No problem guys, I’ll give any more updates when available, and of course we’ll have all the reports and reaction from his come back :)
This really is fantastic news! I hope he is over his injury problem, I miss him as a player for us-he’s my favourite player when he plays.
How do you find this stuff out by the way? Good work.
thanks, lets hope he doesn’t have a setback and he gets back in the first team
Is that match home or away?
Imagine for a heady moment what this Arsenal squad might do if (by some miracle) we managed to get through next season without any serious, long-term injuries…
That would be amazing. Tom is a wonderful, world class player. I think seeing him back at the Emirates for the first time will be as emotional as seeing Eduardo. Tom must have been through hell with this injury, worrying that maybe his career was under threat. It will be brilliant to see him back, what a boost to the team if he came back as good as he was before he was injured. Him, Cesc, Arsh, Theo, Vela, Nasri make for a hell of an attacking midfield. Good luck Tom…
Are Fabregas or Adebayor likely to play in that game as well?
He’s a massive, massive player. I’m not sure how much he can affect this season, but simply knowing we should have him fit and raring to go for next season is a real lift. He is a quality player and on his day I rate him as highly as Cesc. We have never seen Rosicky at his best because he has always had little niggles, so hopefully this next season he will have a run of games and show the world-class qualities he has.
Cheers J on a handy report.
So glad, just so glad. People forget just how good he is. Captain of the Czech republic, and incredibly experienced. Anyone want to bet against him scoring the winning goal in one of the finals we WILL reach this season?
I think I wasn’t alone in thinking we’d may have never seen Rosicky again in an Arsenal shirt – he’s had terrible hamstring problems since before we bought him and the injury that has kept him out for more than a year looked like it could have been the unfortunate culmination of injury prevailing over talent and finishing a career.
I’m still incredibly cautious but the word around surrounding all this is that he took so long off to completely sort the problem, so if he does return, it won’t be like last time (2 weeks available, 3 weeks off; 1 foot forward, 1 steps back).
Rosicky was a star when he played. Absolute diamond of a footballer and at 28, still has his peak years ahead of him hopefully. It will be fortunate timing for article writers if he comes back to great form as well, in terms of him finally accepting the baton from Nedved.
You learn something new every day… So he is captain of the Czech Republic? Impressive!
JS how has jonas rassmussen played for arsenal so far. Has he played well he seems to score goals and hes a very good winger. Does he have an arsenal future.
great news! we’ve missed #7 terribly
just good news for me before gettin g bck to work tomorrow. Welcome back my hero
yaaahooo!!

So essentially he will be ready for summer holidays! Damn Damn Damn. I guess he will be like a “new signing” for next season. Hope he recovers well and we can enjoy his intelligent and exciting style of play next season.

To be honest I don’t think Rosicky ever will be as good as he was before these injury problems. He’ll probably get injured again soon and then it’s over. He doesn’t have the physique to play top level football. This hurts for me to say but sadly i think it’s true, such a talented player but so many injuries. Like Ljungberg at his last 2 seasons with us!
Cracking news.
That’s great that he’s back up and running.

@ Sanderson you are doing an amazing job. God bless you. keep it up son.
It will be really great to have Rosicky back. He should add onto the rich no experienced midfielders we have. This is now beginning to look like the real Arsenal team. I can’t wait to see these guys all back in action and how we shall run riot on defenses.
Im sure he’ll be over his injuriy problems. This is great news. He’ll be back ready for the first team in time for May when we play Chelsea and Man Utd in the league. Think the Liverpool away game will also be re-scheduled for May if we get to the FA Cup semi’s.
The chelsea reserve fixture is away, where does Chelsea play these? At Brentford’s ground Griffin Park in far far west where tube doesn’t go? :) I still wonder whether i should drag myself there.
fantastic news, he can play in the middle and on the flanks. he wud have been exactly the player to fill in for cesc these last few months had he not been injured. i still remember his goals against liverpool in the fa cup a couple of seasons ago, big games, big performances. he has the experience that wud have led to crucial openings in that run of nil nil draws we had, and wud have popped up with other goals as well. top news.
the only problem i can see is how to fit fabregas, arshavin, rosicky, nasri and walcott into midfield wen there will be denilson/song having to take up at least 1 midfield spot. even with a 4-5-1 we have too much!! a nice problem to have mr wenger!
now that is one helluva a midfield we got going on when rosickys back. cant wait!!
It will be great to get Rosicky, Fabregas, Eduardo and Adebayor back as we have 2 cups and a league run-in to complete. We need strong squad depth to cope with the fixtures we have coming up. With Arshavin settling in well, Vela getting more game time, Song & Eboue improving, and Walcott coming back to full fitness, i can safely say that i have confidence in this team again.
COME ON THE ARSENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rosicky won’t be playing then. He is back in mid April as he won’t return to full training until April.
Welcome back Tomas! yeah this is good news…
he injured again!! so we wont see him in this scheduled reserve match..
some bad news on the official arse site:
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/rosicky-s-return-delayed-by-two-weeks
TR has suffered a minor setback according to Wenger.
Also Nicolas Yennaris has been called up by Eng 16s for Montaigu Tournament
http://www.thefa.com/England/U16s/NewsAndFeatures/Postings/2009/03/U16Monaigu2009.htm
bad news his injured again out for an extra week and he wont be able to play for two weeks after that bad luck rosicky n i dont think he will be playing in this game
Whu!whu! Lethality is back to the squad the squad this sounds promising
He’s out for another 3 weeks..
Arsenal’s best midfielder is finally back!
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/rosicky-s-return-delayed-by-two-weeks
NOOOOOOOOO hes suffered another satback! bloody hell, another 2 weeks so will he still play against Chelsea?
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/rosicky-s-return-delayed-by-two-weeks
I guess this will be scratched since he’s picked up another setback. This must be killing him.
Nope he won’t play, he is out for another 2 weeks apparently now
Yay! Rosicky may not have the amazing vision of Cesc, or the incredible speed of Walcott, but his technique, improvisation, and quick passing and incredible attitude (and he does have good vision) on the pitch make him my favourite player. Lov him
I LOVE TOMAS.
The amount of creativity our midfield will possess is ridiculous.
Fabregas, Arshavin, Nasri, Rosicky, Walcott, and hell, even diaby!
Bright times ahead for the club. Up the arsenal!
rosicky has got new injury and his recovery will be 2 weeks late
wish him best luck hopefully he will be back soon and for arsenal 2 get the last champions league spot ,and be involved in the fa cup semi if we get through ,t
SSN is now reporting he has had minor setback… so gutted. Come on tomas!!! You can still make it!!!
SSN reported today that he had another set-back and will be out for a further two weeks. Despite what people may think, this aint no hoax. I’m pissed with all this Rosicky business. It’s so frustrating and hopefully he’s back to his best next year and proving many people wrong.
He is so injury prone that he cant even make his comeback dates now!
New setback..
Pingback: Top Posts « WordPress.com
I thought I was reading today that he just had a setback (after the article was written) and won’t be available for another two weeks? Anyone have a clear picture about this one? I’d love to have Rosicky back, I still can’t make up my mind about which injury had the biggest impact on last season (Rosicky, RVP, Eduardo, or Sagna’s completely underrated end of season absence) but Rosicky was so damn good. I loved watching him and Henry play together, what a perfect combination. I miss Little Mozart.
Looks doubtful now Jamie.
We’re being told to give it another fortnight – http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/rosicky-s-return-delayed-by-two-weeks
I get the feeling I’ve heard that before.
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/rosicky-s-return-delayed-by-two-weeks
JS u’re wrong mate…he got injured again….i don’t think we will see Sicky this season…
what a surprise, arsene says rosicky will be out for another 2 weeks, broken record anyone?
wow, this is damn good news. I hope he stays uninjured unlike the other times when he came back from injury and soon was in the injured list.
he is a great flair player and has an eye for goal. Love him, its very unfortunate he has missed a huge amount of playing time for arsenal.
I cant see him being fit for the Chelsea game as it was reported yesterday he has had a setback and it will be another few weeks until he is ready.
J. What do you know about this rumour (from the BBC-site)
Arsenal are closing in on Espanyol’s 16-year-old midfielder Pablo Saranova, dubbed the new Cesc Fabregas. (Daily Mirror)
Pablo Saranova??
Dont give up Rosicky!!
U can make it back.. All your loving fans are praying for you.. Be strong!!
Hello to all ! Great site. I am new here greetings to all from Poland.
