Tomas Rosicky believes the injury suffered by Aaron Ramsey is an example that Arsenal need more protection from referees.

The midfielder believes opposition teams get away with far more fouls than is acceptable, and more than Arsenal get away with.

Rosicky refused to blame Ryan Shawcross for the challenge that sent Ramsey to hospital, but believes referees need to take a better control of the game to prevent injuries of this nature happening again.

He said: "I think you cannot blame the player or tell that he wanted to break his leg, of course not.

"But it's always against us. The teams operate aggressively against us, that's no problem for us, I think everybody copes with that but I think we have to be more protected from the referees.

"If you see, for example, how many fouls the opponents can do against us, five, six and after that it's a yellow card, we are making one or two fouls and we've got immediately yellow cards, so we have to be more protected as well."

The Czech Republic international went on to say that Ramsey has youth on his side, and his age should help him recover better from this horrific setback.

He said: "I'm sure that he will be back because he is obviously even younger than us, so the healing hopefully will be quicker for him.

"I think he can see that, he's two team-mates like Eduardo and me, we were out for a long time as well. So he can see that there are two examples that made it as well, so he's got it in front of his eyes.

"Aaron is a huge talent and to see a young boy suffer like this is horrible."
