Walcott likely to return for Man Utd clash

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has reportedly started his rehabilitation program following a stomach injury and could be set to feature against Manchester United at Old Trafford this weekend. 

Walcott is expected to miss out on the midweek clash against Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, but looks likely to play a part in the Premier League this weekend, having missed 10 consecutive matches in all competitions.

In spite of the injury to the talented English International, Arsenal have managed to cope well and have enjoyed an excellent start to the Premier League campaign, which sees them sit five points clear at the top of the table.

Walcott's last match was against Marseille on Match day 1 in the Champions League, where he scored an excellent goal to earn the Gunners a crucial 2-1 victory at the Stade Velodrome.
