Young Gunners to lead way for England

ARSENE WENGER believes Arsenal will soon provide the backbone of the England team.

The Gunners boss has been criticised for developing young foreign talent rather than bringing English players through.

However, Arsenal are now well represented in Fabio Capello’s squad — with Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs both starting the midweek friendly against France, while Jack Wilshere — who received a police caution yesterday for common assault following a street brawl last August — missed out with a back problem.
