Cartoon of the Day: Wilshere's return sparks celebration at Arsenal

Oct 2, 2012 12:00:00 PM

The England starlet had been out of action with an ankle injury since last summer, but he made his comeback with the Under-21s on Monday & things are looking good for the youngster

Jack Wilshere's return from injury, after spending around 15 months out with an ankle issue, has given Arsenal a reason to celebrate.

The 20-year-old played for the Gunners Under-21s on Monday as he continues to work towards reaching full fitness after the long lay-off.

Arsenal were beaten at home by Chelsea 2-1 in the Premier League this weekend, but the talented young England midfielder's addition to the squad in October could be like a new signing for Arsene Wenger.

Although he is unlikely to feature immediately in the Arsenal first-team, expect Wilshere to filter into matches through the month, challenging the likes of Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby for a starting spot.
