Theo Walcott: "I'd do anything for this team"

Theo Walcott has claimed that he is happy to carry on coming off the bench for England at Euro 2012.

The Arsenal winger hasn't started a game during the tournament but has impressed when called upon by Roy Hodgson later on in games, and the 23-year-old insists that the team comes first.

Walcott said: "I had that little injury setback. I kept on playing and training and pulled it in the end so I thought, during training, I'd have to sit it out for a while.

"But I'm ready to go. I'd do anything for this team - from the start or the bench.

"It's nice to be part of it and there's still a lot more to come."

Walcott may start against Italy in Sunday's quarter-final if Ashley Young fails to overcome a shin injury.
