After being out of action since January 2008, Tomas Rosicky looks to have put his injury nightmares behind him.
The Czech Republic international is being gradually eased back into the first team and his performances have been positive, including scoring a consolation goal against in the match against Manchester City.
Manager Arsène Wenger says that he wants to use Rosicky sparingly and that's why he wasn't included in the starting eleven against Wigan Athletic.
However, the rest might mean that Rosicky could be included in the Carling Cup tie against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.
Wenger said: "I am very positive [about Tomas]. Touch wood his problem is sorted. He had not played a game for 18 months.
"Now he has played with the Czech Republic and us. I did not leave him out today because I was cautious.
"He was ready to play and for me he looks completely over his injury."
