Theo Walcott ruled out for Arsenal at last minute

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott pulled out of this afternoon's Premier League match against Stoke City at the last minute.

The England international was initial named in Arsene Wenger's lineup but then picked up a "minor pelvic/abdominal problem" and had to withdraw.

Walcott has now been replaced by 18-year-old German Serge Gnabry, who makes his first Premier League start.
