Walcott ready to return
-
Arsenal have received a fitness boost as Theo Walcott returns to the squad for Sunday’s FA Cup tie against Burnley.
The England winger has been out of action since dislocating his shoulder on international duty in November, but Arsene Wenger has confirmed he is now fit and ready to return this weekend.
Croatia striker Eduardo could also be included after a small hamstring injury disrputed his return from his double leg-break.
“I will see how they look tomorrow and Saturday, but they will certainly be in the squad, especially Theo,” Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
“We have to wait and see how Eduardo reacts and responds to his injury.”
In defence, Kolo Toure looks set to miss Sunday’s game with a tight calf, but William Gallas should return from an ankle problem.
“We are quite optimistic about Kolo, but we have to assess the situation today completely – I don't think I will involve him on Sunday,” he said.
“But Gallas should be back for Sunday and it looks to be like Kolo will be back for next week [against Roma].”
The only significant blow for Wenger is the news that Emmanuel Adebayor will miss both the Burnley and Roma games with his hamstring injury.
