Andros Townsend would be my choice for the England right wing to replace the unfortunate Theo Walcott, but Aaron Lennon is another strong candidate.

It is ironic that the two top candidates are both in North London at Arsenal’s biggest rivals.

My main concern with Townsend is the type of injury that has kept him out recently. I hope it's not a long-term nagging problem, as muscle injuries are not good for someone like Townsend, who is a bit of a sprinter. I can see why when to bring him back into the Spurs side is a delicate issue.

I must say, though, that it was a bit of a mystery why Andre Villa-Boas left him out when he came back from playing for England and looked in such good form.

Townsend looked like one of the few bright lights despite the defeats by Germany and Chile, but when he came back to his club AVB put him on the bench against Manchester City. I couldn’t quite fathom what that was all about.

I was left scratching my head over that one, and it couldn’t possibly be because of lack of form, as he was Spurs' best player at that point.

It won't be long before Townsend is over his injury worries and is back for his club in plenty of time for the run-up to the World Cup with the first buildup game in March.
