Wenger is confident Rosicky back to best

ARSENE WENGER admits that at one stage during Tomas Rosicky’s rehabilitation he feared the Arsenal midfielder’s career was over.

Hamstring and knee injuries sidelined Rosicky for 18 months with his appearance in Saturday’s pre-season friendly against Barnet his first since January 2008.

Wenger is confident the Czech international will still be the same player and hopes he could be available for the Barclays Premier League opener against Everton on August 15.
