The Arsenal boss has been dealt a blow ahead of midweek exertions in the UEFA Champions League with the news that Theo Walcott is facing up to a month on the sidelines.The flying winger suffered knee ligament damage during the Gunners' 3-1 victory over Birmingham on Saturday.He was forced from the field following a hefty challenge from Blues defender Liam Ridgewell, which went unpunished.Wenger accepts that there was little intent from the Birmingham man, but he feels a line needs to be drawn between what constitutes physical and what constitutes over exuberant."It is difficult to see any bad intention there, but still he went well through," said the Frenchman.Committed"I think in the Premier League, you let more go and it is important to let more go than anywhere else in Europe because it makes the games more attractive."But you need to keep it going so that everybody plays with the right intention and you do not feel that there is any malice there."To get a committed game everybody has to play fair."Wenger added: "I like the commitment of the English game. I think the superiority of the English game is down to that."Players have the feeling they improve in England because there is more commitment and you do not want to take that out of the game."
