Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has suffered another setback in his bid to recover from a long-term hamstring problem.

The Czech Republic midfielder has been out of action since January 2008 with the tendon injury.

Earlier in the month, manager Arsene Wenger predicted the 28-year-old would be back in full training before the end of March.

However, Rosicky has now suffered a fresh setback which will delay his comeback for the reserves by another week.

"Tomas has had a little setback of one week so he will be out for two weeks again," he told the club's official website.

"We have to be a bit more patient than in the start.

"I told you two weeks ago that he would be back in full training but he will not.

"He'll be back in full training in two weeks' time now."
