Rosicky ok but Walcott not as Arsenal prepare for Stoke

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says that Tomas Rosicky will be fit to start against Stoke City tomorrow but not Theo Walcott.

Czech midfielder Rosicky has been ill recently but has recovered in time for the trip to the Britannia Stadium whilst winger Walcott will be out for the next couple of games because of a hamstring problem.

"He (Rosicky) is alright. He was sick last weekend. I think he pushed himself very hard to get on the pitch but he has recovered since and should be fit for the game," Wenger told the club's official website.

"Theo is out for Saturday. He has a little chance to catch the last game but not the next two."
