Tomas Rosicky's domestic season appears to be over after the Czech Republic national team doctor voiced concerns over the Arsenal midfielder's battle to regain fitness.

The 27-year-old limped out of January's FA Cup clash against Newcastle with a knee problem and he has struggled to regain fitness ever since.

Doctor Petr Krejci fears Rosicky will not return for the Gunners this season - or even make a recovery in time for this summer's Euro 2008 tournament.

"It can fade away in two weeks but it can last for further three months as well. And since it has lasted two months already, we are a little concerned," Krejci told Sport.

"If I'm being honest, I am worried if he'll make it for Euro 2008."

Rosicky speaks regularly to Krejci, who confirmed the player still feels pain when asked to stretch himself.

He said: "It still hurts him. He can run and jog but he would be afraid of making a sprint now.

"We have agreed that he will not yet start full training.

"He is resigned to the possibility of perhaps not appearing in the Premier League again this season and that he will not play in the spring."

He added: "His priority is Euro 2008."
