Theo Walcott feels he could be fit enough to make Arsenal’s Champions League tie with Roma.

Theo is recovering from a shoulder operation and told an EA Sports webchat yesterday: “I am nearly there, and hopefully [will be back] by the end of this month.

“I am doing a lot of rehab work now with the shoulder, landing on it, and also in the gym with a lot of weights to build the muscle strength back.

“I am seeing a specialist on February 24 so he will give me the heads [up]. Maybe it can be for that game I don’t know. I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up but I hope to be back by the end of the month certainly.”

Shoulder problems run in the Walcott family however the winger feels this latest setback in fact could be beneficial in the long run.

“My dad had an operation on his right side (shoulder) as well, and when I had my left side done, they did a scan on my right and said that something might have to be done at a different stage,” Walcott added.

“So actually it is good that it has come when I am young, and hopefully now it will be as strong as anything.”

Theo Walcott has dislocated his shoulder while training with England ahead of Wednesday’s friendly against Germany in Berlin.

Theo was taken to hospital where the shoulder was put back into place.

A decision will be taken on Wednesday morning over when the 19-year-old will return to England.

The Gunners are desperate to tie England star Walcott (right), 19, to a long-term deal.

He has 18 months left on his current deal but such is his magnificent form for club and country, boss Arsene Wenger is ready to double his wages to £60,000-a-week.

Walcott, a £12m signing from Southampton in January 2006, is happy at the Emirates despite Chelsea and Real Madrid interest.
