Arsenal ace Walcott confident Wilshere, Sturridge fit for England

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott is confident teammate Jack Wilshere and Liverpool striker Danny Sturridge will be fit for England.

Both players were missing for training yesterday.

"He (Sturridge) is here - that is the positive," he said.

"Hopefully Dan can get over the knock.

"He played with it (on Sunday) I think so fingers crossed he will be okay for Friday and Tuesday.''

Of his Gunners team-mate Wilshere, Walcott added: "He's had an illness so he needs an extra couple of days to recover.

"I am sure he will be fine, hopefully.''
