Walcott has been out of action since being stretched off during Arsenal’s FA Cup victory over fierce local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in January, with his pace and direct running having been sorely missed, particularly before the arrival of Alexis Sanchez.
The Chilean’s presence means that Walcott has a fight on his hands to regain his place in the team, despite their indifferent form, but his return is likely to put a smile on the faces of Arsenal and England fans alike.
