Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh is not worried by his lack of first-team outings in 2011.
The Moroccan has not played in the Premier League since the 2-2 draw at Wigan at the end of December.
Since that time, Chamakh has only made a 68-minute appearance against Leeds in the FA Cup, with the two teams set for a replay on Wednesday, and he was a second-half substitute in the Carling Cup against Ipswich.
It has been speculated that the former Bordeaux star, who has scored 10 goals since moving to England in the summer, has fallen out of favour with boss Arsene Wenger.
But Chamakh insists that his absence is an agreed rest, as he told L'Equipe: "As the coach said, I played a lot earlier this season so I was a little exhausted. It's logical, I'm not worried.
"It allowed me to have a short break. Now I feel fine and I hope to be back in the team soon."
