Theo Walcott alerts injury fears in England training

Walcott in brief injury scare

Arsenal and England winger Theo Walcott alerted injury fears during training with the Three Lions today after pulling up with an apparent ankle problem.

The 23-year-old required strapping on both ankles during the session at Wembley ahead of England's last warm-up friendly against Belgium before the European Championships next week.

Despite having to do some separate running with a member of Roy Hodgson's coaching staff, the former Southampton star rejoined his teammates to complete the training exercise.

England have already lost three members to injury - third-choice goalkeeper John Ruddy and midfielders Gareth Barry and Frank Lampard.
