The Gunners look to seek compensation from the FA after the shoulder injury Theo Walcott sustained whilst training for the England v Germany friendly match. The injury means Walcott will have to sit out the following three months of matches:
Speaking to Arsenal TV Online, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said:
“There should be compensation, of course. I believe at the moment it is a subject studied by FIFA,”
“There have been some agreements and the overall issue is about how the players can be paid by the club and play for somebody else. That is a basic way of thinking.
“That is why sometimes it happens that you do not see the player for three months and the clubs pay them. You have to find a reasonable agreement.
“It can only be regulated by FIFA because the difference of wages means it would be too big for some national federations.”
