Walcott Returns to Arsenal Training after Missing Arsenal's Last Three Games

Arsenal have been handed an injury boost ahead of their game against Huddersfield on Wednesday 29th of November after Theo Walcott returned to training after a fortnight on the side lines through illness. The 28-year-old missed the Gunners' last three games, which included the north London derby and the loss to Cologne in the Europa League. He was also absent for Arsenal's last minute win over Burnley on Sunday.

Arsene Wenger was unsure of his participation for the midweek game, but is certain that he will be available for the visit of Manchester United on Saturday. According to the London Evening Standard, Walcott returned to training at the start of the week, but it remains to be seen if he will be included in the matchday squad by the French coach.

The England international is unlikely to make it to the starting XI for the clash against the Terriers as he has only been used from the bench in thePremier League. Walcott's main involvement has been in the Europa League and EFL Cup with his league appearances restricted to 46 minutes thus far this campaign.

Walcott, who is Arsenal's longest-serving first-team player, was linked with a move away from the club in January, but Wenger is keen to retain the Englishman and believes that his chance will arrive. But he is currently not high in the pecking order with Danny Welbeck, Alex Iwobi, Mesut Ozil and Jack Wilshere all vying for a place behind the main striker, a role being occupied by Alexandre Lacazette in the league and Olivier Giroud in the cup competitions.

Real Madrid Left Back Marcelo Ruled Out for One Month while Toni Kroos will Miss Real Madrid's trip to Alaves

Real Madrid star Toni Kroos is set join Marcelo in the treatment room when Los Blancos visit Alaves on Saturday (23 September) after suffering a rib injury. The news is a fresh concern for Zinedine Zidane as Karim Benzema, Theo Hernandez, Jesus Vallejo and Mateo Kovacic are also ruled out for the visit to Mendizorroza due to various injuries. Kroos, 27, missed the last weekend's 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad due to a fitness problem. The Germany international returned to Zidane's starting line-up for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Real Betis and was able to complete the full 90 minutes. However, it looks like Kroos suffered a recurrence of the problem in that game after Real Madrid revealed on Friday morning that the midfielder skipped the final training session before Los Blancos' trip to Vitoria.
