Rosicky hopes to make full recovery after heart issue for former Arsenal man sees him be rushed to the hospital.
After being hospitalised to intensive care last week due to a heart-related problem, former Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky hopes in fully recovering.
According to the club, Rosicky, who has been the sporting director of Sparta Prague in his home Czech Republic since December 2018, was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday.
An external club statement stated that surgery was not necessary and that Rosicky was discharged to home care last week, but it did not provide specifics regarding the cardiac problem.

Rosicky played 246 games for Arsenal from 2006 to 2016 and helped the Gunners win the FA Cup in 2013–14 and 2014–15. He also assisted the Czech Republic in making it to the Euro 2004 semi-finals.
