Stomach surgery sidelines Walcott

24 September 2013 18:31

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has been ruled out for three weeks because he needs stomach surgery.

Walcott was withdrawn from the Arsenal XI to face Stoke last weekend after feeling pain in his stomach, and the Gunners confirmed that he needs surgery.

Walcott will miss England's crunch qualifiers against Montenegro and Poland as well as Arsenal's games against West Brom, Swansea and Napoli.
