Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky out for more than two months after knee surgery, reveals Arsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Tomas Rosicky will be out for longer than two months.

The Czech's agent revealed on Wednesday that the midfielder had undergone surgery on his knee and the 34-year-old is now set for a prolonged period on the sidelines.

In better news for the Gunners, Hector Bellerin is fit again and in contention for Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace after missing the opening day defeat to West Ham.

"Tomas [Rosicky] has had surgery on his knee," Wenger told Arsenal.com.

"His agent said he will be out for one or two months, but it will be longer. How long exactly, we don't know yet.

"Hector Bellerin is back and is available for Sunday, Danny Welbeck is making good progress, but is still not available."
