Jack Wilshere: (Ankle) Scan Reveals Fracture

“I had a bad surprise because it is a hairline crack in his fibula that makes him a few weeks out“.

Wilshere had injured his ankle last year against the same opponents at home.

Wilshere, whose career has been severely stunted by injuries, missed five months of the 2014/15 season after injuring his left ankle.

“The information you have heard about Jack Wilshere is right”, Wenger told Arsenal’s website.

He returned to play a part in Arsenal’s run-in and helped the team defend the FA Cup in a 4-0 rout of Aston Villa in May.

England global Jack Wilshere has found an unlikely ally in Tottenham legend Teddy Sheringham, who has revealed his sympathy for the Arsenal star following his latest injury setback.

Wilshere has struggled with leg and ankle problems since 2010.

England face San Marino and Switzerland in the 2016 European championship qualifiers in September.

Wenger also provided an update on the fitness of Danny Welbeck, Tomas Rosicky and Alexis Sanchez ahead of the season opener against West Ham.

The good news for Arsenal was the return to training of Danny Welbeck after a knee injury. His longest spell out of the squad was in 2011 when he was sidelined for nearly one-and-a-half seasons.
