England boss U21 boss Pearce to battle for Arsenal's Walcott

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 12/17/2008 - 07:41

England U21 boss Stuart Pearce is determined to include Arsenal winger Theo Walcott in his squad for next year's European Championships.

Walcott is currently out until mid-February with a shoulder injury.

Pearce said: “He’s one of our best players. He’s proved that because he’s playing in the seniors now. It’s vital he’s there.

“I didn’t see Holland, the last winners of the Under-21 tournament, leave Ryan Babel out even though he had senior caps.

“As an Englishman it’s important I take the strongest squad to try and win the tournament.

“So when you say ‘Would I even ask for Theo Walcott?’ it’s not about ‘even Theo’ — it’s ‘especially Theo’.”
