Arsenal manager Arsenal Wenger has revealed Theo Walcott
will not play again this season and will have shoulder surgery
later this week. Surgery on the long-standing problem had been
delayed because of other injury and suspension problems within the
Gunners squad. But the 18-year-old will go under the knife on
Tuesday after aggravating the injury during a substitute appearance
in Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park.
Wenger said: "Walcott's season is over. He will have surgery on
Tuesday. The medical advice is to do it now. "He was doing well
until he damaged his shoulder, now he is only 50% of what he was
before. "You can see that now. He was on for only 10 minutes and
his shoulder popped out, you cannot play football like that."
