Striker Theo Walcott says that although the injury to Eduardo is still fresh in the team's minds, it is important that him and his team mates don't lose focus of the bigger picture.

Arsenal entertain Aston Villa on Saturday and will be keen to try and extend their lead of Manchester United in the league.

Walcott said: "Of course Eduardo has been on our minds.

"It was a quiet coach ride home and felt just like a loss in truth.

"We had a couple of days off and then actually went bowling to keep our team-spirit up.

"A couple of lads went to see him yesterday [Tuesday] and reported back to the rest of us.

"But we have tried to forget about it in a way and concentrate on Saturday.

"We don't all want to rush there and then gradually stop. It will be more difficult for him in later months so we want to be there for him the whole time he is out."
