Arsenal and England
forward, Theo Walcott, who sustained a serious knee injury in his club’s 2-0
victory against Tottenham
Hotspur at the Emirates, will go under
surgery that may require six months to be recovered. It means that he will miss
the remainder of the season and the World Cup in Brazil in the summer.
Walcott
twisted
his ankle while making a tackle in the closing stages of Arsenal’s FA Cup
win over Tottenham on Saturday. However, there was no sign of pain in his face while
leaving the field on a stretcher. At the time of his leaving the field, he signaled
“2-0” to the Tottenham fans. The Football Association decided not to take any
disciplinary action against him for the gesture.
This
latest injury has come as a big blow to the club as both strikers Olivier
Giroud and Nicklas Bendtner are also out with injuries. Arsenal manager, Arsene
Wenger, may have to go into the transfer market to buy a new striker in order
to boost his attacking options. It has become a big challenge for the Gunners
to continue their success in the Premier League.
