England qualifier sold out

Sold-out: Theo Walcott's hat-trick in Croatia sparked a ticket rush
13 April 2012

England's World Cup qualifier against Kazakhstan a week tomorrow is already a sell-out thanks to Theo Walcott.

Six weeks ago Fabio Capello admitted it was easier for his team to play away from Wembley after they were booed off following the 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic.

The crowd of 67,738 was England's lowest at the re‑built stadium, but a hat-trick from Arsenal's Walcott in the stunning 4-1 win in Croatia sparked a rush for tickets with all 90,000 now sold for the Group Six qualifier.

This is England's last home game of the year as they travel to Belarus for another qualifier four days later and play Germany in a friendly in Berlin on 19 November.

Capello is due to announce his squad for the qualifiers on Sunday, with Wayne Rooney expected to be involved despite picking up an ankle knock during Manchester United's midweek Champions League win over Aalborg.
