Theo Walcott is back in full training with Arsenal.

The England forward has not played since suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury in the 2 - 0 win against Tottenham in January.

That injury cost Walcott a place in the England World Cup squad but his return will now be a timely boost for an Arsenal side weighed down by injuries to key players.

Walcott had scored five goals in 13 appearances for Arsenal by January of last season, having netted a personal high of 14 the previous campaign.

The Gunners' next game is against Hull City on Saturday.
