THEO BACK SOON

admin

The manager of Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, believes that Theo Walcott would be able to completely recover from his recent injury setback.

These ligament injuries have ruined the careers of so many soccer players and many people fear that it might do so to Walcott as well who is currently one of the most exciting players going around in England.

But, Wenger doesn’t think so. He reckons that Walcott is a tough character and he would bounce back in a very strong way.

Walcott who is not even in his mid twenties was probably playing the best football of his career before getting injured. It’s because of his consistency that Arsenal has been sitting at the top of the league table since a long time. But, with him being sidelined, Wenger knows that life is not going to be that easy for his team now.

When the Gunners boss was asked if the English striker would manage to play the same kind of football that he was playing before getting injured, he said, “Yes, I think so and the reason behind that is his age. He is only 24 and at this age, you get recovered from injuries quite well even if they are quite serious. If he had been 30 and had suffered the same kind of injury, I would probably have had a bit of doubt in my mind, but, at 24, he should be back strong.”

“Theo is one of those guys who have got enormous mental strength. He is capable of coming out of these sorts of adverse situations.”

Walcott has been a part of Arsenal FC since the last 7 years. He has played close to 200 Premier League matches for the London based club so far and has scored 45 goals.

ARSENAL SURPRISE

Arsenal keeps on surprising Europe with their most recent triumph that sees them topping Group F with 9 points alongside the German giants Borussia Dortmund.  They also suffered their 2nd loss in the Premier League when going head to head with Manchester United but even with the defeat, they are still at the top of the English League.

Arsene Wenger’s side received a further boost when receiving the news that Borussia Dortmund will be left without Mats Hummels for the remainder of the year and not only that but Dortmund will also be missing Marcel Schmelzer for around 3 weeks.

With 2 matches remaining in their Champions League group stages they are in need of positive results that can book them their spot for the next rounds of the biggest European tournament.

Jack Wilshere recently said what it would be like to become the captain of Arsenal.

“I’ve grown up at this club and I have captained the club at under-16 level, under-18 level and last season as well I got the armband for 20 minutes or so [against West Ham in January] which was a nice feeling. I want to do that [be a leader] for this club,” he told Arsenal’s official website.

“From the team that I first broke into a lot of them have gone so I’m one of the few who’s been around, there’s Bac [Sagna] as well but I’m one of the only midfielders who has been around for a while.
The 21 years old player of Arsenal made his debut with the club at the age of 16 and since then has played an important part for the English team and from the looks of it he will not be leaving the club anytime soon.

PODOLSKI AND OZIL SHOW

Lukas Podolski has said that he will form a good pair with his countryman Mesut Ozil at Arsenal.

Ozil has joined Arsenal this summer after leaving Real Madrid. Arsenal has paid a record transfer fee of 42.5 million Pounds for bringing the German midfielder to Emirates Stadium.

Podolski who is currently out of the Arsenal squad because of injury is very happy with the fact that Ozil has joined him at Arsenal.

In one of his interviews a couple of days ago, Podolski said, “I am glad that Mesut has come to Arsenal. He is one of my closest buddies. Our tuning is great both on and off the ground.”

“He is a fantastic player. We needed somebody like him at Arsenal. He can win us a lot of games.”

“We know each other pretty well and we will form a very good pair. We both want to be successful at Arsenal.”

Quite a few Real Madrid players including Isco and Sami Khedira are reported to be unhappy with the fact that Ozil has been sold by Real Madrid.

When asked about that, Podolski said, “You never want to lose such a teammate. Mesut set up a lot of goals at Madrid and by doing that, he gave others benefits.”

Podolski is not going to get the opportunity to play alongside Ozil pretty soon as he needs a few more weeks to recover completely from his hamstring injury. When asked about that, the 28 years old German striker said, “It’s really frustrating to have to wait for the chance to play alongside him. I want to do that immediately, but, unfortunately I can’t. I will have to wait.”

Podolski had injured himself while featuring for Arsenal in a Champions League game against Fenerbahce in August.
