Theo Walcott is set to make his season debut for Arsenal on Sept. 27 in the north London derby against Tottenham, the team he suffered a serious knee injury against during an FA Cup match in January.
Walcott tore his ACL during the encounter and was forced to miss the remainder of the season, including Arsenal's FA Cup victory and England's trip to Brazil for the World Cup in June.
Now, it appears the 25-year-old is fully fit and will make his first appearance of the season against Arsenal's biggest rivals, according to The Mirror.
His possible inclusion in the squad will come at a pivotal time in Arsenal's schedule as the Gunners will play Galatasaray in Champions League action and Chelsea after their clash with Spurs.
