WALCOTT INJURY WORRY

Arsene Wenger has said that he is concerned about Theo Walcott's persistent injury problems. Walcott, 21, faces up to six weeks out after damaging his ankle in England's 3-1 Euro 2012 qualifying win over Switzerland on Tuesday.

Wenger said: "It is frustrating for him. You never know what kind of psychological impact it has. The mental side is always a question mark when a player gets injuries."

Theo Walcott first suffered a lay-off in November 2008, when he dislocated a shoulder on England duty, ruling him out for six months. And Wenger added: "When you are a manager and you see an injury doesn't harm the career of a player, you are happy. After that the only unknown quantity is how much it will damage his confidence in the box, on tackling and all that."
