Arsene Wenger unwilling to risk Theo Walcott against Anderlecht

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger reveals that he is unlikely to risk the fitness of Theo Walcott by starting the winger in their Champions League clash against Anderlecht.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that he is unlikely to hand Theo Walcott his first start of the season in his side's Champions League clash against Anderlecht.

The 25-year-old played for the first time for the Gunners since January in their 3-0 win over Burnley in the final 12 minutes of the match, after stepping up his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

However, Wenger has revealed that he is not ready to gamble with Walcott's fitness in their matchup against the Belgian side.

He told reporters: "I have not made that decision yet but would I tell, yes, 100% now? Certainly not. I'm not ruling it out, but I do not want to make a big mistake."

Arsenal face Anderlecht in their Group D clash on Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium.
