Adebayor mocks ex-Arsenal pal Rosicky over injury record

Emmanuel Adebayor has taken a swipe at former Arsenal teammate Tomas Rosicky.

The Istanbul Basaksehir striker discussed his time at the Gunners with So Foot.

Adebayor was asked about the state of Arsenal during his three years at the club.

He said: “I was the strongest player on the team, despite the fact that I weighed 73kg.

Chelsea had (Michael) Essien and (Michael) Ballack in midfield. We had Rosicky. If you said as much as 'how are you' to him, he would then be injured for two and a half months."

Rosicky ended up staying at Arsenal until 2016 before rejoining boyhood team Sparta Prague, winning two FA Cups and a Community Shield along the way.
