Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has been left bewildered at the lack of playing opportunities for the Gunners.

Arsene Wenger recently took an option to extend the contract of the Czech Republic midfielder by a year but Rosicky failed to even make the match-day squad for the FA Cup final.

He told reporters: "Since the moment Arsene Wenger used the option in my contract, I haven't even been on the bench. I am laughing, but it's not funny.

"It's frustrating but I am a professional. Even if you lose your place, you must still be prepared because the situation can change.

"I'll start the summer preparation with Arsenal and that's the whole of my plan for the time being."
