Winger
Theo Walcott will return to the Arsenal squad for Wednesday’s Premier
League match at Everton after a shoulder injury, manager Arsene Wenger
said on Tuesday.
Walcott
missed last week’s Champions League 2-0 victory over Montpellier and
Saturday’s scoreless draw with Aston Villa after injuring his shoulder
in the 5-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby 10 days
ago.
Wenger
confirmed Tomas Rosicky was back in training after a long layoff with
an Achilles injury picked up while playing for the Czech Republic at
Euro 2012.
The
manager said he was not worried that England’s Jack Wilshere, himself
recently returned from a 14-month spell out with an ankle injury, would
follow Robin van Persie, Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas out of the
Emirates Stadium.
Wilshere has more than two years left on his contract but the club are keen to nail him down long-term.
“Jack has always been very committed to this club and I hope he will show that,” Wenger told a news conference.
“There is only one way to show that and that is to commit your long-term future to the club.”
The 20-year-old was kept on the bench against Aston Villa but Wenger said he was likely to play against Everton.
Meanwhile
Wenger on Tuesday confirmed Arsenal’s interest in bringing Crystal
Palace sensation Wilfried Zaha to the Emirates, claiming that the winger
is one of several players being considered by the north London club.
