Walcott: Injuries are not my fault
Written by Jonathan Chong on Friday, December 11, 2009
Striker Theo Walcott as said that the run of injuries he's suffered this season are really down to bad luck, rather than him being reckless in tackles or challenges.
The England international only managed his first 90 minutes of the season during the mid-week match against Olympiacos, and has declared himself fit to face Liverpool this weekend.
The team are currently experiencing one of their worst series of injuries with several key players injured for the medium and long-term. Striker Robin van Persie for example, has effectively been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Walcott said: "You have just got to keep your head up. Tomas Rosicky was out for a very long time, and he is out again, but he used to come into the training ground smiling and that is what kept me going.
"The funny thing is the injuries are no fault of my own. It has been very bad luck. I am not an injury-prone player, so hopefully I have a long career ahead of me.
"Lately people may have thought I have been injury-prone but I just need to play more games and the more I play the better I'll get. The goals will come when the performances come."
