Theo Walcott returned to full training with Arsenal on Monday following his lengthy absence with a knee injury. It was back in January when the speedster last played a competitive match. The return of Walcott has come up in a crucial time for the Gunners as it provides a major boost amidst of a mid-season injury crisis.
Arsene Wenger is without Mesut Ozil, Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey, David Ospina and Olivier Giroud currently, but if it has be to one player that he would love to welcome back, it has to be the English man, who hit his top form before damaging his knee during the 2-0 win over Tottenham.
And as one would expect, the Gooners took to Twitter to express their joy in seeing the winger back in training.
-Olivier Giroud will return earlier;
-Theo Walcott returns to full training;
-Mesut Ozil indicates that he is staying.

Walcott in, Gnabry in. In in in in, shake it all, well, in. You hope they don't get injured and you turn around, that's what it's all about.

Not to imply the boss plans to put Walcott in the starting XI, but to see him training is great news nonetheless.

Theo Walcott scored 21 goals in his last fully fit season. Easy to forget that. Fantastic and underrated player.
