Poor Theo Walcott, his bones is very brittle they is

Picking up tons of injuries or not being in shape when you're still at a very young age (21) professionally is never a good sign of things to come.

I shutter to use the Michael Owen comparison but Theo Walcott's career is taking an ominous turn that looks exactly like Owen's: playing for England at a ridiculously young age (17) which gets everyone's expectations way too high then never getting healthy or fit enough for the club team.

Adding to England's woes (Defoe's injury), Walcott will be out four to six weeks with an ankle injury of his own.

Walcott turned over on his right ankle in the early stages of England's 3-1 win over Switzerland and was stretchered off before being taken to hospital for scans on the problem.

Arsene Wenger now admits that with Nicklas Bendtner still out for "three to four weeks" and Robin van Persie absent until the end of October, his attacking options have been hit further by the loss of Walcott.

The news comes as a cruel blow to a player who has suffered extensively with injury problems in recent seasons, but had scored four goals in his past two appearances for the Gunners.

"The tackle looked quite bad," Wenger said. "When you see how it turned his ankle I thought it would be three or four days or it would be four to six weeks. Unfortunately it will be four to six weeks.

"We had some good news about the scan because at some stage we were scared it could be worse. But overall it is a question of patience and rehabilitation."
