Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has suffered a hairline
fracture to his left fibula reports English daily, The Mirror. If confirmed the
injury is expected to keep him out for months.
Arsene Wenger had confirmed after Sunday's match against Chelsea that he was
expected to be out for days, after he missed the match through injury. With
this report of a long term absence for the 23 year old England
international, it will come as another blow for a player who has been plagued
by series of injuries since he broke into the Arsenal first team in 2009.
Last season he missed over four months after he injured his
ankle following a tackle from Paddy Mcnair in the match against Manchester
United in November. The previous season he was also injured on England duty in a friendly match against Denmark after a
collision with Daniel Agger.
He has had an interrupted injury career so far at Arsenal.
With another injury to his ankle following a tackle from teammate Gabriel in
training, it again raises the question whether those ankles can take certain
contacts through tackles as most of his injuries have stem from bad tackles to
his ankles.
For a player who was looking to work his way into first team
reckoning this season after injuries meant he is no longer first choice in
central midfield, it would be a disappointment, particularly for a player who
has spent more time injured in the last one year than playing actual football.
Arsene Wenger's first pre match conference will take place
later this week when he is expected to give an update of the situation when he
addresses the press.
