Premier League - Walcott set for spell on sidelines - Yahoo! Eurosport
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott's ankle injury sustained during England's 3-1 win over Switzerland in Basel is not as bad as first feared, but he still faces up to two weeks on the sidelines...
After finding Glen Johnson out wide, Walcott continued his run into the Swiss box, only to trip over Steve von Bergen's outstretched leg just before Wayne Rooney tapped home Johnson's cross from close range.
The 21-year-old was taken to hospital for a precautionary X-ray on his ankle, but the scan revealed he had merely sprained rather than broken it.
England manager Fabio Capello said after the match: "It's a little problem, but not a big problem. We will have to wait to see how it is.
"I spoke with Theo and he told me it is not a big problem. I said 'two weeks?'. He said less."
I'm tipping Eboue to take the right-side of the front three spot, and for 5.55 looks a good bet at home against an admittedly tough-looking Bolton.
