Arsenal winger/striker Theo Walcott has admitted to manager Arsene Wenger that he is worried about his World Cup spot after experiencing yet another injury setback.
The crafty youngster has managed just one start for the Gunners this season, the weekend’s 3-1 win over Birmingham, but sustained a medial ligament injury during the clash.
Walcott may be out for up to four weeks and believes it may be a bad time to be injured but Wenger says he should not worry just yet.
“I believe Theo is worried about the World Cup certainly, but I don’t think there’s any reason to worry now,” Wenger said.
“I believe he will be in the England squad. He will be fit. It’s October and he has an injury of two-three weeks. I say four weeks to be covered and sure”.
Wenger added that he does not believe Walcott is perceptible to injury, rather that he receives close attention from defenders who cannot keep up with him.
“I don’t believe he is injury prone. Don’t forget usually it is the striker who gets hit and the defender who hits,” Wenger added.
“Most of the time the strikers are more injury prone because of the way the game is played. The quicker they are the more they get kicked and at a higher pace.”
