Crocked Belarus midfielder Alex Hleb sees former Arsenal teammate Theo Walcott as England's biggest threat ahead of tomorrow's World Cup qualifier.

Barcelona midfielder Hleb said: "In particular, we have to stop Theo Walcott. He was a good friend at Arsenal and I am pleased to see him doing so well.

"He always had the ability - everyone could see that. But the game in Croatia, when he scored a hat-trick, was huge for his belief and confidence.

"He is a player capable of undoing the best defences in Europe so we will have to stop his runs and crosses. With the ball at his feet he is a brilliant talent.

"I really wish him well in his career - but I just hope he will not do it against us."
