Wilshere Feared For Career by AH
Arsenal Manager Arséne Wenger believed that Jack Wilshere feared for his career at times last season, with the young Englishman not playing for 14 months. Wilshere picked up an injury in last season’s Emirates Cup game vs New York Red Bulls and at the time it just looked like a simple knock that would only keep him out for a matter of days. But then the injury escalated to such a big extent that he was ruled out for the entire year. But now he has resumed his training and is set to make an appearance for Arsenal reserves in 2 weeks time, if all goes according to plan.
Wenger said;
“When you are so young and out for 14 months that is a good test for your mental strength, on that front he has been absolutely brilliant because he had not only ankle surgery, but when he thought that was over he had knee surgery. He handled that very well, I must say.”
“I refused to give up, because he is a 19-year-old boy, so I always thought he would come back. I am not medically expert enough to know how big the damage was in his ankle. It never crossed my mind. Has it crossed his mind? Only he can answer that – I think, yes.”
“Jack, though, has always been with a good level of confidence. I believe what he has gone through will make him even stronger. Jack had ups and downs, and many downs because he had a few setbacks, but he dealt with it very well, especially in the last three months he was highly focused every day.”
“Jack was in every day very early and worked all day through. He is rewarded now with a good condition.”
The next few weeks will be a tough time for the youngster, because no doubt he will be eager to get playing at the highest level again, but Wenger will integrate him into the first team slowly. Its best for both the player and the team as he strives to be the player he was 2 years ago. However now there’s no guarantee the starlet will be in the Arsenal XI, like he was 2 years ago.
