Premier League
Theo Walcott is ready to play his part in the rest of an Arsenal season that may yet have a glorious finale.
The England winger endured four months of frustration after suffering a shoulder injury as Arsenal went into dramatic decline.
But he was back to make a significant contribution to the penalty shoot-out win over AS Roma in the Stadio Olimpico last Wednesday.
That took Arsenal into the last eight of the Champions League and this week they have an FA Cup quarterfinal at home to Hull.
On top of that, Aston Villa's problems have left the highly-prized top four finish in the Premier League as a tangible target for Arsenal.

Walcott revealed: "Most of the team don't listen to the outside. We believe in ourselves and we believe in the team. People can keep talking and we can sneak up the background."
And if Walcott blossoms, then an England recall will surely follow.
He said: "Playing for your country is an absolute honour, so I'm going to working at my hardest and see where it takes me.
"You will have to ask Mr Capello if I am in the next squad.
"But I am going to try to get in there."
