Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky is optimistic ahead of the new season and believes he will be fit for the Gunners’ first game of the season.

He told Czech media Sport:

Now everything is good. I did fully train with the squad two weeks before the end of the season and everything went fine, even if there’s a long way to go. I am currently in the Czech Republic and I hope I’ll bounce back.

I am missing the competition. I am looking forward to the start of next season. My endurance tests are even better than when I signed with Arsenal. I was worried when I came back in training, but everything is fine.

Playing alongside Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott makes you feel comfortable and I think that I’ll quickly forget that I’ve been out for a while.
