Former Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky retires from football
"After much consideration, I came to the conclusion that my body can no longer prepare for the burden that professional football requires," he told reporters at a press conference.
"I would like to thank Sparta for raising me, allowing me to continue in the big clubs in my career and end it where I always wanted."
He added: "I knew it was coming. It was harder and harder to prepare for matches, my mind still wanted to play but my body refused.
"Recently my mind also stopped working this way. I had a great football career, I loved football and I would definitely go through it again."
