The end of last season and the beginning of this one have been brutal for Arsenal with injuries to forwards, but they're finally getting one of their best ones back. On Monday, Theo Walcott tweeted that he participated in his first full training session since tearing his ACL during the last campaign.
First full training session after 9 months - feeling good!! http://t.co/QrMIXaxs5h

It usually takes more than a week of full training for players to return from a long injury layoff like this, so don't expect to see Walcott in the 18-man squad against Hull City this weekend, or in Champions League against Anderlecht. But assuming he doesn't experience any setbacks, a return for Walcott could be right around the corner.
While he's not an automatic first-choice player when fit anymore now that Alexis Sanchez and Danny Welbeck have joined the side, he'll be a brilliant addition to this current Arsenal team as a two-position backup and a speedy, direct super sub. The Gunners are currently lacking a player like him to bring off the bench, and he'll add some punch to their attack.
