According to sources England midfielder Jack Wilshere is likely to be fit for the start of the next season after he stepped up his training regime recently.
The 20 year old suffered a stress fracture in ankle during a pre-season friendly against the New York Red Bulls last summer and subsequently ruled out for close to five months. However, a recurrence of that problem back in January this year forced him out for the remainder of the season. The player underwent a surgery in May to correct a minor problem which evidently ruled him out English of the Euros.
Stuart Pearce was adamant about including the young star in the Great Britain’s squad for the Olympics but eventually relented when Arsene Wenger publicly expressed his displeasure at Pearce’s decision. The Gunner boss insisted that Wilshere needed to rest to completely recover from the injury that he had almost a year back.
Wilshere, who joined Arsenal as a 9 year old, has spent the entirety of last season on the sidelines and Wenger is desperate to have him back for the start of the season. The player is believed to have started training with the ball after having spent most of the time in the gym as part of the rehabilitation program. With almost a month and a half to go before the new season gets underway, we have reason to believe that Wilshere could be fit in time to play in the season opener.
