Walcott set to return against Rovers

30 September 2009 08:50
Walcott has yet to feature this season because of a back problem and again missed out on Tuesday's Champions League win over Olympiakos. However the 20-year-old has been back in training for the last week and played 60 minutes of a specially arranged match against an Olympiakos Under-20 side on Monday. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger confirmed Walcott will be available for Sunday's clash with Blackburn and also England's World Cup double- header with Ukraine and Belarus next month. "We played against Olympiakos Under-20s and he [Walcott] played for 60 minutes and came through well," said Wenger. "He will be available for England selection and for us on Sunday."
