Arsenal's Jack Wilshere 'very annoyed' at injury setback but vows to 'stay strong'
The England international has missed the whole of the Gunners’ season with an ankle injury, but the midfielder does not know yet when he will return to first-team action
By Miles Chambers
Jack Wilshere has admitted his frustration after suffering yet another setback on his return to first-team action for Arsenal.
The 20-year-old has not featured for the Gunners this season after suffering a stress fracture to his ankle on international duty with England last June.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed earlier on Friday that the midfielder will be out for even longer than anticipated, with reports suggesting the player could even miss the entire campaign.
Wilshere said on Twitter: “It is true I have had a set back [sic] I can't tell you how long I have been set back because I don't know! I am very annoyed but will stay strong.”
The youngster, who has progressed through the Arsenal youth system, was a constant in the Gunners’ midfield last season, earning a regular England spot in the process.
