Walcott fit for Swansea match after missing England duty


Theo Walcott will be fit to play on Saturday for Arsenal against Swansea City despite a hamstring problem causing Fabio Capello to rest him for England's 1-0 victory over Wales at Wembley on Tuesday.

Theo Walcott
The 22-year-old winger was taken out of the team for the Euro 2012 qualifier as a precaution after developing the issue following England's win over Bulgaria in Sofia last Friday. The news will come as a welcome boost for Arsène Wenger, whose squad is already missing key players due to injury and suspension, particularly in defence, for the game at the Emirates Stadium.

His side are attempting to recover from a poor start to the Premier League season, which has featured defeats to Liverpool and Manchester United – the latter a humiliating 8-2 reverse at Old Trafford. After three games they have only one point and are fourth bottom.
