Arsenal boss Wenger: Cesc, Walcott back in fortnight

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger expects to have Cesc Fabregas and Theo Walcott available again inside a fortnight.

After victory at Portsmouth, Wenger confirmed he expected injured captain Cesc to be out for around 10 days with a hamstring problem - meaning the influential Spaniard would miss the FA Cup third-round tie at West Ham this weekend, while England winger Walcott is also out.

"Let's say the only question mark we have is does Cesc make Everton or not [on January 9]," said Wenger.

"Walcott is a ripped muscle [in his side] and about the same, 10 to 12 days."
