Arsenal winger Walcott set for England recall

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is set for an England recall today.

The Gooner has only played 10 minutes of football since making his comeback from the injury which saw him miss the summer's World Cup.

But it is suggested Three Lions boss Roy Hodgson is keen to get the 25-year-old back into the international fold as quickly as possible and it's a plan which was met with approval by Walcott's club boss Arsene Wenger.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said: "I'm happy for him to go with England, he needs competition and games.

"For us, he needs hard training. Will I use him from the bench against Anderlecht? I haven't decided yet."
