Arsenal's injury crisis continues after Tomas Rosicky sustained a muscular injury during Czech Republic's European Championship qualifying match Friday against Turkey.

The English club had finally received positive news Monday when Theo Walcott and Serge Gnabry returned to full training, but now their midfield depth has taken a hit with the news that Rosicky may miss time due to the injury, according to The Guardian.

“I couldn’t do any sharp movements, I couldn’t sprint,” Rosicky said. “If I tried to play at one tempo, I wouldn’t make any difference for the team. I’ll come back to London and we’ll see. The doctor said I have something swollen between the muscles.”

The international break has been tough for Arsenal on the injury front. Midfielder Mesut Ozil was ruled out for 10-12 weeks with a partially torn lateral collateral ligament in his left knee and defender Laurent Koscielny was sent home by France because of tendinitis in both Achilles tendons.
