Everton's Theo Walcott Set to Miss West Ham Clash With Rib Injury But Could Return for Arsenal Tie

Everton midfielder Theo Walcott is set to miss his side's Premier League clash against West Ham on Sunday.

The 29-year-old suffered a rib injury during the Toffees' 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town in the Premier League and the England international has now set his sights on returning to full fitness to feature against former side Arsenal a week on Sunday, according to the Telegraph.

Losing Walcott will be a blow to Marco Silva as Everton's new manager is yet to lose a game with his new team, with three draws and a win currently to Silva's name after his first four Premier League outings on Merseyside.
