Wenger waits patiently for Wilshere

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will carefully manage the fitness of Jack Wilshere to avoid the heart being ripped from of his midfield following the news Abou Diaby was set for nine months out with a knee injury.

Wilshere is currently recovering from an ankle problem which has sidelined him since the defeat at Tottenham on March 3, meaning he missed both Arsenal’s Champions League win in Bayern Munich as well as both of England’s games against San Marino and Montenegro.
