Jack Wilshere has turned to technology in a bid to try and rescue his season.

The Arsenal midfielder has missed the entire campaign thus far due to injury and recently suffered a setback thanks to a further a stress fracture picked up in training.

It was expected that Wilshere would be out for the rest of the season and would play no part at Euro 2012.

However, in a desperate attempt to recover from his injury the England player has started using Exogen ultrasound bone healing equipment.

Despite being on holiday, Wilshere tweeted a picture of his leg strapped to the machine and commented: “Dear exogen machine...please heal me quicker...love from your number one customer!”

The 20-year-old has five senior England caps and was a key member of the Gunners' squad last season, making 49 appearances.
