Walcott, 23, remained in hospital Saturday after he was tackled by San Marino goalkeeper Aldo Simoncini in the sixth minute during England's 5-0 win.

The Arsenal forward was left struggling to breathe following the clash. He did manage to walk off the pitch following extensive treatment, but then needed to be stretchered back to the changing room.
