Arsenal boss Wenger welcomes Walcott availability

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is delighted to have Theo Walcott available.

"He can be very good for us," the Frenchman told arsenal.com.

"It's very important to see how he will respond with his shoulder and I think he looks to be nearly there. To have him back is great.

"The difference between training and competition is different.

"He is very fit but after that you have to get used to tackles and go into the challenges. You have to use your arms and shoulders to resist."
