Arsenal's Jack Wilshere To Return To First-Team Action By The End Of The Year

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is set to move on to the next stage of his rehabilitation after x-rays revealed there were no further problems in his recovery from ankle surgery.

The 19-year-old suffered a stress fracture to his right ankle and required an operation in September. Wilshere had previously revealed he was set to return to training by mid-December, with a view to be able to feature in competitive matches by the end of the year.

Wilshere posted on Twitter: “As I said had 6 week X-ray earlier and all going well. I can start to work a bit harder now.”
