On Tuesday afternoon, grim news reached London's "Arsenal" fans.

The team, already depleted by injuries, lost another player. This time, "Gunners" winger Theo Walcott had to leave the ranks.

The England national team player will undergo a stomach procedure, after which he will not be able to play until the end of the international break.

The Englishman felt stomach pain during warm-up before the match against "Stoke City," which "Arsenal" won 3 - 1.

Currently, the London team is also without injured Lukas Podolski, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Abou Diaby, and Santi Cazorla.

T. Walcott will also miss the final World Cup qualifying matches against Poland and Montenegro.
