Arsenal winger Theo Walcott will reportedly be out of action for the next 10 days with a groin injury.

The 24-year-old was omitted from the England squad for both World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro after suffering the injury in training yesterday.

It is understood that Walcott could be absent from Arsenal's Premier League clash against Reading, but it is believed that the injury is not a long-term issue, according to BBC Sport.

The Gunners are currently four points away from fourth place in the table with nine games left to play.
