Wilshere blow

Friday, 27/01/2012

Arsenal star Jack Wilshere is seeing a specialist today after breaking down in training as he attempts to comeback from injury.

The England midfielder was expected back into action any time now but there are fears he could miss the rest of the season – which would also eliminate him from Euro 2012.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger revealed: "He had a little setback. We are investigating it at the moment and don't know how bad it is.

"He sees a specialist today. He has pain again in his ankle. We stopped him straight away. He did it running."

The 20-year-old has not played this season after being injury whilst on England duty last June.

Medical staff have been more than pleased with his progress after surgery and are hoping that the latest problem is just a scare rather than a major setback.

The latest news is likely to mean there will be no players leaving the Emirates this transfer window and Wenger refuses to be drawn on whether there will be any newcomers.
