Walcott - no luck this year
The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has not had much luck this season. After starting his first game of the season against Birmingham at the weekend, he was subjected to a heavy tackle on his knee from Liam Ridgewell. This seems to have damaged a knee ligament and he will now miss at least another three or four weeks.
“The news is not good,” Wenger said. “We are without Theo Walcott for longer than expected.
“We thought it would be just 48 hours but it is a medial knee ligament, which is what I feared after the game. He will be out for three to four weeks.”
“The good news is that Samir Nasri will be playing at Wolves with the Reserves and Lukasz Fabianski will too,”
Both Nasri and Fabianski have also not played so far this season, and with Walcott’s setback, it is even more urgent to see Nasri return to full fitness as soon as possible.
A nice warm-up game with the reserves will hopefully bring him closer to a return to the first team.

Theo’s injury does not worry…if nasri can be that will do us good. Theo did not have any impact on the game with birmingham, i wonder why arsene opted to start with him instead of Arshavin.
Muzo,stop being an idiot,with theo on the oponent tend to play deep giving our player more room,he might smtime nt make an impact but influnce our game.ie using direct approach.wish theo the best of luck in his recovery
Truthfully I can`t see Walcott having a prolonged career in football. Maybe he`s just unlucky, maybe there are other reasons but he just can`t take the knocks. If only he could string three or four games together without injury but he`s not even making ninety minutes. Let`s hope is bad patch is coming to a close.
theo is a quality player and english to. and we need english players to help us with the refs!
Nasri plays in the reserves tonight! http://bit.ly/iyTDx
