Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has now learned England winger Theo Walcott has picked up a hamstring injury and will miss Saturday's Premier League clash against Stoke. The hamstring complaint is described by the Gunners as "short term", and the 20 year old will be desperate to return as soon as possible as he is yet to complete a match this season after shoulder and knee problems.
"We had Sagna out injured but, normally, he will be available," said Wenger. "However, Theo Walcott will not be available. He has a hamstring injury.
"As for the other players we had injured, the long-term ones I do not even speak about. But the players who looked to be shorter - like (Gael) Clichy, (Abou) Diaby and (Nicklas) Bendtner - will not be available. And, of course, Song is suspended for the weekend."
