Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas believes Tomas Rosicky will return stronger and better from his injury nightmare when the new season gets underway.

The Czech Republic midfielder has been sidelined since January 2008 with a series of hamstring and leg muscle problems.

However, the 28-year-old can see light at the end of the tunnel as he has been taking a full part in pre-season training.

"I have spent a lot of time with him and I know how he feels," Fabregas told the club's official website.

"I know what he wants and I have never seen a guy being so committed, so professional and never giving up.

"If this happened to me I probably wouldn't want to talk to anyone, I would be always down and angry.

"But he's unbelievable and when we see that he will be back next season, he will be strong and hopefully he can help us improve a lot.

"He's the type of player you enjoy playing alongside and as a guy he's amazing. He didn't deserve his injury but I am sure he will come back stronger. I wish him all the best because everyone here at Arsenal loves him a lot.

"I feel sorry for him, but I don't need to say that to him, he's my best friend in the team and one of my best friends in football and my life."
