Following Walcott's last Tuesday's night performance against Porto, Arsenal hero Nigel Winterburn says the England under 21 star should forget about World Cup.

Theo Walcott has been critized with his form since returning from back injury but showed something he can offer to Fabio Capello.

 "It was good to see Theo Walcott contribute in a positive way - I said the other week that he is going to have to be given the chance to play a few games to find his form, hewas quoted in Tribal Football.

"He struggled a bit for England and received plenty of criticism for that, but I still think that unless Fabio Capello is no longer manager Theo will be at the World Cup. 

"If he can finish the season well and stay fit then he is the kind of player you want in the squad. He has that pace and while Aaron Lennon may start ahead of him, the Spurs man is not fit at the moment and Theo would be my next in line."

Arsenal crushed FC Porto 4-0 in Champions League second leg clash to book their place in quarterfinals.
