摘要：
6日，英格兰队主教练埃里克森现身阿森纳队位于北伦敦的科尔尼训练基地，并同阿森纳队主教练温格共进午餐。从表面看，埃里克森此行是为了考察边后卫阿什利·科尔的伤病恢复情况，但实际上埃里克森在近几个星期里频频光顾这里都是为了一个人，那就是阿森纳队锋线小将沃尔考特。
Sven-Goran Eriksson was at Arsenal‘s London Colney training ground on Saturday and had lunch with Arsène Wenger. Ostensibly the Swede was present at the training session earlier to check on Ashley Cole‘s fitness but in reality the England coach, for the third time in recent weeks, watched Theo Walcott train.
6日，英格兰队主教练埃里克森现身阿森纳队位于北伦敦的科尔尼训练基地，并同阿森纳队主教练温格共进午餐。从表面看，埃里克森此行是为了考察边后卫阿什利·科尔的伤病恢复情况，但实际上埃里克森在近几个星期里频频光顾这里都是为了一个人，那就是阿森纳队锋线小将沃尔考特。
据英国《卫报》5月8日报道，随着德国世界杯开赛日期的日益临近，埃里克森也越发感到来自锋线方面的压力。由于脚趾骨折，前锋鲁尼基本已同世界杯无缘，而同时伤愈复出的另一名前锋欧文在7日纽卡斯尔联队同切尔西队的比赛中甚至都没被排进替补名单。因此，埃里克森必须尽快重新确定一名新的锋线人选，以备不时之需。
而现年17岁的沃尔考特在今年1月份球员冬季转会期从南安普敦队以500万英镑的价钱转会到阿森纳队。如今他的身价已经迅速窜升到1200万英镑。然而这名小将至今还没有参加过一场阿森纳队一线队的比赛。埃里克森对于启用年轻选手也不缺乏胆量。现在大红大紫的曼联前锋鲁尼正是在其17岁的时候被埃里克森看中的。然而，如果埃里克森果真大胆到将毫无大赛经验的沃尔考特招入英格兰队的话，那么阿森纳队主教练温格的话显然在其中起到了关键的作用。
“如果斯文（埃里克森）问我是不是可以带沃尔考特去世界杯的话，那么我决不会说不。”温格表示：“沃尔考特是需要多打一些比赛，但他的确与众不同。”
5月8日，埃里克森将公布参加德国世界杯的英格兰队27人名单。即便在这27人名单中没有沃尔考特的名字，那也不意味着这位少年就毫无机会。因为根据国际足联的规定，任何球队都可以在6月9日开赛之前对那些确实因为身体原因不能参赛的球员做出更换。
这样的规定显然给了埃里克森以更多的时间来考察球员，而因伤长期缺阵的前锋欧文显然同样需要这段时间来证明自己依然是英格兰队的首选。
谈到欧文缺席7日同切尔西队比赛的原因时，纽卡斯尔联队看守教练鲁德表示：“没有将欧文列入上场名单是因为他还没有完全康复。他的脚伤还隐隐作痛，但问题不大。”
Sven-Goran Eriksson was at Arsenal‘s London Colney training ground on Saturday and had lunch with Arsène Wenger. Ostensibly the Swede was present at the training session earlier to check on Ashley Cole‘s fitness but in reality the England coach, for the third time in recent weeks, watched Theo Walcott train.
With Wayne Rooney almost certainly out and Michael Owen not even on Newcastle‘s bench yesterday, Eriksson has to think about striking alternatives. He saw Jermain Defoe score at West Ham but the news that Walcott has moved on to Eriksson‘s radar will stun many.
The 17-year-old was bought from Southampton in January for ?5m, rising to ?12m, but he is yet to appear for Arsenal‘s first team. Eriksson is not regarded as a gambler but he gave Rooney a debut at 17 and has the weight of Wenger‘s words behind him should he choose even to place Walcott on stand-by. "If Sven calls me to ask should he take Walcott, I would not stop him," said Wenger. "Theo needs games but he has something very special. It would be a gamble but he is an option."
Eriksson names his provisional 27-man squad today and, even if Walcott is omitted, all coaches are allowed to make changes on medical grounds until June 9, the day before the World Cup starts.
That buys Eriksson time and Owen appears to need it. "Michael was not on the bench because he‘s not 100% happy," said Newcastle‘s caretaker manager Glenn Roeder after the 1-0 win over Chelsea. "There is still a dull ache but it‘s nothing serious. Until he‘s played a couple of games with no reaction it would only be natural to be concerned."
