Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will be out of action for at
least another two months due to an ankle injury, the England
international says.
"I can confirm I will be out for around 2-3 months. I am
working hard in the gym to stay fit and I am gutted but I
will be back stronger," Wilshere wrote on Twitter.
The 19-year-old sustained the injury during Arsenal's
pre-season tour and missed the first three Premier League
matches of the season from which the London club gathered
only one point.
Arsenal sold midfielders Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri before
the end of the last transfer window and, although they signed
Mikel Arteta and Yossi Benayoun, Wilshere's prolonged absence
is another serious blow for beleaguered manager Arsene
Wenger.
