Arsenal plan for Wilshere

Jack Wilshere’s ankle injury means he’ll have to be carefully managed if he is to survive the season, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said yesterday.

The England midfielder has been troubled by ankle and knee problems throughout his young career but Wenger said he had been assured by the club’s medical staff that there was no long-term issue.

Wilshere has been playing with pain but is fit to face Southampton today after coming through the international break unscathed.

“We play 60 games per year and Jack will certainly have to be managed — unless his pains go completely, then he will be used when needed,” Wenger told reporters. “If there is an alert on his ankles, we will of course take advice from the medical department and use him when he can really be used.”
