Theo Walcott says the return to full fitness of Cesc Fabregas is a huge bonus for Arsenal as they pursue trophies on three fronts.

Walcott - himself just fit from a long injury lay-off after shoulder surgery - is relishing the prospect of the Gunners skipper returning to the side.

"He is going to be a brilliant player for us when he comes back," said the England international.

"I hope people won't expect wonders straight away, but he will get back to his best soon."
