Theo Walcott calls for England to "be brave"

England winger Theo Walcott urges his side to "be brave" and "go for it" during their World Cup qualifier against Malta at Wembley.

England winger Theo Walcott has called for his side to "be brave" during their World Cup qualifier against Malta on Saturday.

The Three Lions will be looking to put a turbulent spell behind them at Wembley as interim boss Gareth Southgate takes charge of his first match since Sam Allardyce's exit.

Memories of England's disappointing Euro 2016 display continue to linger, but Walcott believes that the desire to put that right will help the players to improve.

"It's a completely new bunch of players, who've got a lot more experience following the disappointment of the Euros, and we're wanting to put that right," he told reporters.

"Seeing how everyone is around the place and how we've trained... there's no reason why we can't do better. Having that support behind us, we're going to just go for it and be brave.

"You do the things that get you to play for England in the first place. You want the right attributes to come out so you can express yourself in games and if we can do that, it'll bode well for the future."

Walcott, who was left out of the squad for the Euros, has scored four goals in his last four games for Arsenal.
