Arsenal foward Theo Walcott is ‘feeling positive’ despite suffering a serious knee injury, according to club-legend Bob Wilson.
The 24-year-old is set to miss SIX MONTHS of action due to suffering ligament damage in his knee during the club’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup.
The blow means Walcott will miss the rest of the season for Arsenal and also means he will miss the World Cup in Brazil.
However, depite the bad injury, Wilson has revealed that the forward text him saying that he is feeling positive.
Wilson told Sky Sports News: “Having been at the Spurs game live I watched a recording on Monday, and only then did I realise how well Theo played in the central striking role.
“I was in the process of texting congratulations to him when I heard about the anterior cruciate injury. I did text him to say how well he played and that we were thinking of him and – as you’d expect because he’s such a good guy – I got a very, very positive response.
“It wasn’t a long message, but the main line coming through was ‘I will get through this’. He’s a positive lad still in his early 20s, and you think of Aaron Ramsey with career-threatening injury he had (a broken leg in 2010) and how well he’s come through.
“I know the treatment he’ll get and all the positivity he has. We wish him well.”
