Rosicky to miss season's opener

Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has confirmed he will miss the start of the new season, with his slated return to the first team not until September.


The Czech Republic star missed the second half of last season because of various ailments.


He underwent a knee operation in May which precluded his involvement at Euro 2008 but he had originally hoped to be fit in time for the kick off of the new season.


However West Bromwich Albion on August 16 is a bridge too far for the 27-year-old.


“I know I’ll miss the start of the club season,” Rosicky told the Czech newspaper Sport.


“According to plans I should be back on the field in September.”
