Wow! Walcott and Gnabry played for Arsenal on Friday

Good news for Arsenal,as forward Theo Walcott started  and Serge Gnabry also featured for the club's Under-21s in his return from injury against Blackburn Rovers on Friday evening,Thegoalmac can reveal.

Walcott had been out of action since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during the north London derby against Tottenham in January.
And the England international completed 45 minutes at Boreham Wood FC's Meadow Park without any obvious signs of physical discomfort before being substituted at the break for Alex Iwobi.

Serge Gnabry also made his first appearance of the season as he continues his recovery from a knee injury, while Abou Diaby captained the Gunners.
The 25-year-old returned to first-team training on Monday during the international break but played against Rovers rather than being risked for the senior side against Hull City on Saturday.

Abou Diaby also started for Arsenal at Boreham Wood, captaining the young side.

Walcott's return, though gradual, is a boost for Arsene Wenger's side, who have lost the likes of Mesut Ozil to the treatment table in recent weeks.
