Tomas Rosicky, former Arsenal and Czech Republic midfielder, was hospitalized last Tuesday after experiencing heart-related issues, according to a statement released by Sparta Prague on Monday.
Rosicky, who now serves as the sporting director of Sparta Prague, was admitted to intensive care for further evaluation. Fortunately, doctors determined that surgery was not necessary.
“Our sporting director, Tomas Rosicky, was unexpectedly hospitalized in the intensive care unit last Tuesday due to heart-related issues,” the club announced. “Fortunately, no surgery was required. Tomas, you have our full support. We’re all thinking of you.”
The 44-year-old has since been discharged and is now recuperating at home. Sparta Prague has called on fans to rally behind Rosicky and send their well wishes during his recovery.
