Sky Sports wrote:Arsenal star Andrey Arshavin admits he is struggling to overcome the heartache of failing to reach the World Cup finals.
The Russian playmaker saw his hopes of making South Africa next summer disappear after losing in the World Cup play-off against Slovenia.
And Arshavin admits he is struggling to adapt back to life back at Emirates.
"I'm inconsolable and desolate at what's happened," he told the Daily Mirror.
"My family keep telling me I should forget it as soon as possible, that I should now switch to club matters and the Champions League, but that's easier said than done.
"Nothing has revived me so far.
"When Arsene Wenger asked me what state I was in, I honestly told him that at the moment I just don't want to play football.
"He talked to me for a long time. He said, too, that I need to switch my attention. But I can't do it yet."
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger admitted the player was not in the right frame of mind to start in last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland.
"He came back from Slovenia very down and that's the main reason I didn't play him from the start against Sunderland," said the Frenchman.
