DvNsports: Theo Walcott ruled out for six months with knee injury

Arsenal midfielder Theo Walcott has been ruled out for at least six months with a knee injury, the club have confirmed.

Walcott was stretchered off during the club's 2-0 win over Tottenham in the FA Cup third round on Saturday and scans have revealed he has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.

The 24-year-old will undergo surgery to rectify the problem, which will sideline him for the remainder of the Premier League season and the World Cup in Brazil this summer.

Walcott has made 21 appearances for Arsenal and England this season, scoring seven goals.
