The Czech midfield maestro will make his long awaited return tomorrow at the pre-season match against Barnet as he will start the match. The Czech had been due to return after the Roma matches last season, there were no real setbacks, but as Arsenal had secured 4th, there was no need to risk him. As for the cup matches, it was felt his mental preparation would have taken much longer, especially to play in matches of such magnitude.
The word from the training ground is that he has a good relationship with Andrey Arshavin, and that his technical ability is there for all to see, all that needs to be put to test is his mental hurdle after such a long time, and if he is able to get into the rhythm of the team quickly, a starting berth is there for the taking. He is applying himself well in training and is working at just getting to the level of the squad after such a long time out. Rosicky is often the man everyone forgets about when naming their ideal team for the season, he may just force them all to re-evaluate those thoughts as he is aiming to get back to being an important cog in the first team
Welcome back 'Little Mozart', and we all hope you return to your best as soon as possible.
