According to reliable sources, Theo Walcott could make a surprising return against Portsmouth. As said in the report below, he could be amongst others on the substitutes bench.

Arsenal midfielder Theo Walcott could make the substitutes bench against Portsmouth tomorrow after the England star shrugged off a back injury to resume training today.

Walcott wasn’t expected to play a part in Arsenal’s next two games, but according to Mirror Football’s John Cross, he returned to training yesterday and may now make the bench for Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The 20-year-old probably won’t be risked unless there are injuries in Arsenal’s midfield, though it’s a good sign that he’s back in training just days after sustaining another flare-up.
