Vrba confident Rosicky will be fit for Euro 2016

The Czech Republic manager has showed faith by including the injury-prone Arsenal midfielder in his Euro 2016 provisional squad and hopes he can make it to France

Czech Republic boss Pavel Vrba has no doubt Tomas Rosicky will be fit enough to participate at Euro 2016, having named him in his preliminary 28-man squad.

The 35-year-old midfielder has played just 19 minutes for Arsenal this season, coming on as a substitute in the FA Cup victory over Burnley on January 30.

A muscular injury has sidelined Rosicky for much of this year, but he featured for the Gunners' Under-21 side in April.
