Walcott back in training
Posted Tuesday, December 01, 2015 by clubcall.com
Arsenal have been boosted by the news Theo Walcott is back in training and could be fit to face Olympiacos next week.
The Gunners forward has not figured since picking up a muscle injury in the Capital One Cup defeat against Sheffield Wednesday, but reports claim he is back on track and could figure in the make-or-break Champions League showdown.
The news could not come at a better time for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger as he looks sure to be without star men Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla in Athens.
Sanchez aggravated a hamstring injury against Norwich at the weekend and is still waiting to undergo a scan to discover the full extent of the damage.
The Gunners are hopeful he will not be out for too long, but the clash against Olympiacos is sure to come too soon for him. The same can be said of Cazorla, who picked up a knee injury against the Canaries and is facing a spell on the treatment table.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who came off the bench at Carrow Road, is expected to step in and replace the Spain international.
