Jack Wilshere has told Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger he is ready to end his 15 month injury nightmare.The 20-year-old played 90 minutes in a behind-closed-doors friendly defeat to Chelsea at the Gunners’ London Colney HQ on Wednesday.
It was Wilshere’s third match this month after two outings for the club’s Under 21 side and the England international is now convinced he is ready to make his long-awaited return to the Arsenal first-team set up.
Wilshere, who has suffered from a string of ankle, foot and knee problems, has told Wenger he can make his comeback in the weekend visit to Norwich.
Whether the Frenchman - who has taken an ultra cautious approach to Wilshere’s comeback - decides to name the youngster in his squad remains to be seen but the midfielder’s now looks set to return in a matter of days rather than weeks.
In more good news, Bacary Sagna also played 90 minutes in yesterday’s 2-0 defeat after his five month spell on the sidelines with a broken leg.
Chelsea skipper John Terry and Cesar Azpilicueta both played for the Blues XI.
Arsenal’s
positive news was countered though by fears reserve goalkeeper Lukasz
Fabianksi could face another three months out with ruptured ankle
ligaments.
The Poland goalkeeper was hoping for a recall to the squad after being out since February with shoulder injuries but he damaged his ankle during training on Tuesday.
