Wenger fear over Walcott workload

Colonel Ronan · May 25, 2009

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Theo Walcott should not play for England and the Under-21s this summer.

There are World Cup qualifiers in early June, with the U-21's first game in the European Championships on 15 June.

"I don't want to stop Theo from playing for the Under-21s, but during the holiday period, they should choose one or the other," Wenger explained.

An FA spokesman said: "Conversations are ongoing and we want the best for the player and for the England teams."

Walcott's last international assignment resulted in him dislocating his shoulder in training for November's friendly against Germany and he was subsequently out for four months.

"My feeling is that I am against it, and I have let the FA know that he shouldn't play in both national teams during the holiday period," Wenger commented.

I really hope this gets worked out. If he gets another long-term injury his career could be really pressured.
