Gunners boss Wenger took a break from his club duties to commentate on France's dull 0-0 draw with Uruguay for homeland TV channel TF1 on Wednesday evening, after which Les Bleus were jeered by the Stade de France crowd.
He couldn't escape his own international break woes, though, and, when pressed, confirmed Theo Walcott's injury troubles. The coach said: "[Theo] dislocated his shoulder during training, he will be out for at least three months."
The Football Association flew the Arsenal winger back from Berlin to have him assessed at a Harley Street medical centre in London. According to reports, Walcott's right shoulder actually popped out twice following the training clash with Scott Parker and his specialist believes that the injury would have happened sooner or later.
Such a prognosis would muddy the waters where the blame game is concerned. Wenger previously stated that clubs should be reimbursed by national associations if the country crocks their player. But if they were a ticking time-bomb...
In any case, he's now braced for surgery and will target a return for the knock-out stages of the Champions League.
