England manager Roy Hodgson criticised San Marino’s goalkeeper for the incident after Friday’s qualifier saying: “If I described the challenge as being reckless I would be being kind. It was a very fierce challenge. I don’t believe there was any malice. But it put a dampener on the evening.” He also said of Simoncini: “you’re lucky to have him on the pitch for the rest of the game and not to have conceded a penalty.”
Walcott scored one of Arsenal’s goals in their last fixture, a 3-1 victory against West Ham. It has been rumoured that Walcott may leave the club, with talks over signing a new contract still continuing.
