Theo Walcott has been named in the England Squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belarus.

Michael Owen misses out despite returning to fitness and scoring 5 goals this season.

England squad: James (Portsmouth), Green (West Ham), Carson (West Brom); Brown (Manchester United), Johnson (Portsmouth), Terry (Chelsea), Ferdinand (Manchester United), Lescott (Everton), Upson (West Ham), A Cole (Chelsea), Bridge (Chelsea); Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Walcott (Arsenal), Barry (Aston Villa), Jenas (Tottenham), Lampard (Chelsea), Gerrard (Liverpool), Downing (Middlesbrough), Wright-Phillips (Manchester City); Heskey (Wigan), Crouch (Portsmouth), Rooney (Manchester United), Defoe (Portsmouth).

Arsenal were lucky to rescue a point today against the very defensive Sunderland.

Just after half time Arsenal thought they had opened the scoring, but Robin Van Persie’s effort was ruled out as Theo Walcott’s cross was judged to have gone out of play for a goal kick.

Cesc Fabregas rescued a point for the Gunners after Grant Leadbitter had put Sunderland ahead.

It’s the second weekend Arsenal have failed to win and take top spot in the Premiership.

Stuart Pearce’s request for Theo to join up with the U21’s left Fabio Capello laughing, maybe it was because Pearce asked straight after Theo had completed his hat-trick against Croatia.

Fortunately Theo will be unavailable for the U21’s as England have qualification games against Kazakhstan and Belarus and is sure to be selected for the senior squad after his exploits against Croatia.
