Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere could be set for yet another lengthy spell on the sidelines after it emerged his ankle injury is worse than first thought.
Wilshere, who was plagued by injuries for the majority of last season, is expected to be out for between six and eight weeks with a suspected hairline fracture.
The England midfielder suffered the problem in training prior to Sunday’s Community Shield, in which he was subsequently left out by Arsene Wenger as precaution.
But the 23-year-old looks set for yet another agonisingly spell on the sidelines, although the Gunners are confident he will not need surgery.
The news means Wilshere will not only miss Arsenal’s opening fixtures to the Premier League season but also England’s final two qualifiers for Euro 2016 in September.
