Walcott sidelined for ‘four to six weeks’ | News Archive | News | Arsenal.com
Theo Walcott is likely to be out for “four to six weeks”, according to Arsène Wenger.
Speaking to TV Online on Thursday, the Arsenal manager confirmed the extent of the ankle injury picked up by the 21-year-old playing for England on Tuesday night.
It was announced earlier this week that Wenger will be without Robin van Persie for a similar length of time but, on the upside, Samir Nasri has recovered quicker than expected after knee surgery and could even be involved this weekend against Bolton. He’ll definitely be back for SC Braga on Wednesday.
In addition, Johan Djourou and Denilson are available after injury while Sebastien Squillaci could be involved for the first time after his move from Sevilla. All three came through a Reserve team run-out in midweek.
As I wrote on Twitter when his two-week injury was being evaluated by the club,
Is there a scarier phrase in football than "Arsenal's medical team will assess"?
Time to play the annual musical chairs of Arsenal pint-sized midfielders.
