Theo Walcott Injured

Arsenal starlet, Theo Walcott, suffered a slight tweak of his knee ligaments in the 3-1 victory over West Ham reserves last night.

Walcott was replaced after 15 minutes having suffered the injury, but reserves manager, Neil Banfield, moved to assure that the injury was only minor and would only require a few days rest.

‘I think he?s tweaked a ligament just down the side of the knee. I think it’s just a few days’ rest and recuperation.’

The injury comes as a big blow to Arsenal fans who were hoping Walcott would make his first team debut on Bank Holiday Monday away to Sunderland.
