Wenger backs Walcott for England


Walcott scored twice in the 7-0 thrashing of Slavia Prague

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal striker Theo Walcott deserves an England recall after his brace in the 7-0 Champions League win over Slavia Prague.

Walcott, 18, was a shock inclusion in Sven-Goran Eriksson's 2006 World Cup squad but did not play in Germany.

Gunners boss Wenger said: "You complain you don't have many strikers and accuse Arsenal of not producing enough England players - Theo is one of them.

"He is intelligent, has fantastic pace and his technique is improving."
