7. Tomas Rosicky
The second longest serving player within Arsenal’s squad, behind Theo Walcott, Tomas Rosicky has been a firm fan favourite during his ten years at Arsenal.
A key player during the early years at the club, Rosicky’s injury problems first reared their ugly head in January 2008, which subsequently resulted in him missing the 2008/09 in it’s entirety.
For the next few seasons though, Rosicky established himself as a key player for the next few seasons. Injury issues continued to hamper his inclusion in the team though, leading to spells in and out of the first-team picture.
He won his first honour at the club in the 2014 FA Cup final, coming on as a second-half substitute, and enjoyed a similar cameo in the 2014 Community Shield against Manchester City. He did not feature in either the FA Cup success or the Community Shield victory in 2015.
After making his injury return in the FA Cup victory over Burnley in January 2016, Rosicky picked up another injury problem that may potentially rule him out for the remainder of the season.
