Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes that Theo Walcott may yet earn a starting spot for England at the World Cup finals.
With both Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen both struggling with injuries, teenage sensation Walcott may get the chance to make a major name for himself.
Wenger said: "I wouldn't want England to rely on Theo Walcott to win it, but he can certainly make a difference. I think he will maybe start in a game.
"He will certainly be on the bench and he will come on when England don't manage to score.
"On one side I wish he doesn't come on too much because that will mean England are doing well, but he will be an interesting weapon when they are not."
