Arsenal have confirmed they will demand compensation from the FA's insurers after Theo Walcott picked up an injury on international duty with England.
The winger is expected to be out for three months after dislocating his right shoulder in training on the eve of England's 2-1 friendly win over Germany in Berlin.
Wenger told Arsenal TV Online: 'There should be compensation of course.'
Under the FA's insurance plan, the Barclays Premier League club would be eligible to claim up to £1.1million to cover Walcott's wages if he was to be out for 12 weeks.
The FA's insurers will pay up to £100,000 per week but will only cover his wages.
Under the FA's insurance deal, Arsenal can claim Walcott's wages up to a maximum of £50,000 for the first two weeks that he is absent, and £100,000 per week thereafter up to a maximum period of almost two years.
Earlier this week, an FA spokesman said: 'The FA is one of only a handful of national associations who voluntarily insure our players against injury while on international duty. Almost all foreign international players who play for English clubs will not have been insured in this way.' (dailymail)
