Tomas Rosicky says he would love the chance to play more regularly for Arsenal.
The Czech midfielder has made just nine appearances in all competitions this season but feels he is in good enough shape to help the fifth-placed Gunners push for a Champions League spot.
"Naturally, I would like to play more often, that's for sure," Rosicky told CTK. "I feel very well, the results in fitness tests were the same as they were in previous seasons when I played regularly.
"When the coach picks me, I go along with all the tactical tasks and I think I have nothing to be ashamed of.
"It's the manager's team and I fully respect his decisions. I cannot do anything else other than train properly and wait for a chance.
"The team has had problems so there's no space or time to complain that someone is not playing. To me, personally, the most important thing is that the club which I love finishes in a position where we can compete in the Champions League.
"Everything else can be sorted out after the season, on a beach for instance!
"I must convince myself so that it doesn't stay on my mind and doesn't frustrate me. That wouldn't help me or the club. Mr Wenger tells me to be patient but, obviously, the manager of such a club is not explaining every single decision to you."
