On target: Walcott scored six goals in 18 games for Arsenal this season before his injury 

Theo Walcott alifurahia sana kurudi kucheza soka tena Arsenal alipowachezea wakati wa ushindi wao wa raundi ya tatu Kombe la FA Jumapili na kusema alifurahia pia kucheza na “mchezaji wa kipekee” Alexis Sanchez.

Walcott alicheza dakika 76 wakati wa ushindi wa Arsenal wa 2-0 dhidi ya Hull City uwanjani Emirates, ikiwa mara yake ya kwanza kuanza mechi mwaka mmoja tangu aumie goti, jeraha lililomuweka nje ya Kombe la Dunia.

Alikuwa mnyamavu ingawa alionyesha matumaini uwanjani na mchezaji huyo wa miaka 25 aliambia BBC: “Ilikuwa furaha kwangu binafsi kujitoa kutu baada ya kukaa nje mwaka mmoja. Ilikuwa vyema sana kuhusika na kupata nafasi kadha. Nilitaka kufunga lakini sikufanikiwa.”

Hata hivyo, kijana huyo anayesema anajizatiti kumaliza uchezaji wake kama “jagina Arsenal” alieleza kuwa anashuku huenda anamtazama jagina mwingine – Sanchez – aliyeng’aa mechi yote kabla ya kufunga bao la pili la Arsenal dakika ya 82.

"Alexis Sanchez ni mchezaji wa kipekee na ilikuwa furaha kuwa naye uwanjani hatimaye.
Nasubiri kucheza naye zaidi,” akasema Walcott. Kurudi kwake ni habari njema kwa Uingereza pamoja na Arsenal, mabingwa watetezi wa Kombe la FA, wanaopania kuimarisha nafasi yao ligini kipindi cha pili cha msimu baada ya kushuka hadi nambari sita Ligi ya Premia.

Walcott alisema anahisi vyema sana kurudi kucheza baada ya upweke aliokumbana nao akijaribu kujiweka sawa kucheza.

“Nafikiri kiakili ni vigumu sana unapokuwa chumba cha matibabu peke yako, wachezaji wenzako wanapotoka kwenda kufanya mazoezi au kucheza Kombe la Dunia,” akasema mchezaji huyo, aliyeumia kano za goti.

"Lakini nilikuwa na mengi sana yaliyokuwa yakijiri nje ya uwanja maishani mwangu na hayo yalinisukuma.”

Walcott alionyesha hajapoteza kasi yake lakini kumalizia kwake, kwani alipoteza nafasi moja wazi, kulionekana kuwa na kutu kiasi.
