Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is set to miss another fortnight due to injury, despite expecting to be fit in time for Saturday’s game against Norwich City.
The Englishman pulled out of the Stoke City game a few weeks ago due to a stomach pain and later it was discovered that he would need surgery.
After sitting out a couple of games and also England’s World Cup Qualifiers, it was expected that Walcott would be fit in time to face The Canaries, but after the game Arsene Wenger confirmed that in the week prior to the game, the 24-year-old had a set-back in his recovery.
The latest blows means Walcott will miss the games against Borussia Dortmund, Chelsea, Crystal Palace and maybe Liverpool.
‘Theo had a setback on Thursday. He had to stop, to jog again, I don’t think we will see him against Dortmund, nor Crystal Palace nor Chelsea (in the Capital One Cup). He is at least two weeks away now.’
