Rosicky bemoans 'irksome' injury March 17 2008
Tomas Rosicky has admitted he is immensely frustrated at his ongoing knee injury which is keeping him out of Arsenal's crucial run-in to the season.
The 27-year-old midfielder has been sidelined since January due to his troublesome knee and it is highly unlikely he will feature again this campaign.
Rosicky has resigned himself to waiting until the injury wears off as he is not yet fit enough to undergo a full training session.
The Czech Republic star told the Gunners' official website: "It is pretty irksome. I still cannot start full training.
"There is nothing I can do but wait and hope that the injury goes away."
Rosicky also reflected on the north Londoners' Champions League draw, which pits them against former winners Liverpool in the quarter-finals.
"Of course it is a tough draw and we could have drawn a weaker opponent," he said.
"I think though that last year's elimination by PSV (Eindhoven) proved that there are no easy opponents.
"If we want to keep our sights set on the final then we cannot avoid any team. Also, this tie will be a special one for the fans."
