Walcott could miss start start of the season

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed forward Theo Walcott has left the club's training camp in Germany to undergo a scan on a recurring ankle problem.

England International sat out training on Monday before the decision was made to send him home and try to fix the problem before Arsenal start their Barclays Premier League season against Newcastle next month.

"Theo went home early and was due to have an MRI," Wenger said.

"It is an ankle injury that comes and goes. We need some more investigation because sometimes he's completely free of it and sometimes it affects him. But we had to send him back because he couldn't practice anymore."
