Having had Laurent Koscielny pulled from their grasp, the injury gods decided to claim Theo Walcott instead.

Having started for England in their 5-0 win against San Marino, the winger lasted three minutes before a bizarre challenge from the San Marino goalkeeper knocked him over. He recovered but was substituted and will remain in hospital with a chest injury.

At the moment it's unclear as to the extent of Walcott's injury as his scan results haven't come back, but it's possible it could be broken ribs, which would see him out for a fair while.

That's not too much of a disaster, as Walcott's been largely peripheral this season, though when he's appeared he has impressed, scoring 4 goals.

It's a shame to see him hurt and possibly out of a few games, and it always does seem to happen to Arsenal. Ho hum.

Update: The FA have confirmed that Theo will miss England's next qualifier against Poland with a chest injury, which isn't specified. It's unknown if he'll miss any other games, as he hasn't been ruled out for a specific date.
