England's line up for this summer's South Africa World Cup is expected to include 23-year-old Arsenal player Theo Walcott.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger announced yesterday (May 9th 2010) that England coach Fabio Capello has included Theo Walcott in the provisional 30-man squad.
Capello will unveil the provisional team tomorrow, while the final 23-strong squad going to South Africa will be confirmed by June 1st.
Wenger said: "Capello has made the list and Walcott is on the list."
The youngster has been a key part of the Italian's plans since he took over as boss of the Three Lions, but a series of injuries have meant he has spent the latter part of this season watching from the sidelines.
Other possible players in Capello's 2010 World Cup team could include Liverpool's Jamie Carragher and Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves.
Striker Wayne Rooney is also likely to be part of Capello's final squad despite aggravating a previous groin injury over the weekend.
