However, the Telegraph claim that further scans were undertaken on Tuesday and the bad news has now been confirmed after a hairline crack was found on his lower leg.

The injury has been suffered to the same area of his fibula that saw Jack miss the majority of last season and he’ll now return to Arsenal to begin his latest rehabilitation programme.

I just can’t see how we can offer him a new deal as his body just doesn’t seem capable of staying injury free as this was only the second time in his career that Wilshere has managed over 25  league appearances.

It’s going to be interesting to see what happens with Jack this summer but I think we’ll see the club actively looking to sell him. Although he might struggle to pass any medical….
