Jack Wilshere is expected to return for Arsenal in a month

Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, believes that the high flying midfielder, Jack Wilshere, will be back in action in March.

One of the best English  star, Wilshere, had an ankle injury in September before suffering a stress fracture in his right foot during his treatment.

“Jack can be back within a month if all goes well,” the Arsenal’s tactician told the reporters.

With Per Mertesacker being ruled out for a month after suffering an ankle injury during the match against Sunderland, the Gunners received good news in the face of Wilshere’s recovery.

“The recovery of his latest problems looks very good,” added the Frenchman. “The latest scan was very positive.”

Apart from his good reports, Wenger is taking things slowly and will wait for Wilshere’s full recovery. The 20-year-old has not played a single match this season. He was diagnosed with this injury in a pre-season friendly against New York Red Bulls on July
31^st.

“We go cautiously step by step because we tried to push him back quicker in the first instance and he had a setback. So this time we have to be cautious and not go too quick. He can be back before then end of the season, of course.”

However, the Invincibles’ manager is less positive about the 27-year-old German.

“He had a reconstruction of his ankle in Germany before he joined us,” Wenger further commented in the press conference. “And the scan didn’t look to positive yesterday.”

Mertesacker injured his ankle as he attempted to control the ball in the move that led the Black Cats score at the Stadium of Light. Gunners managed to clinch the match with a 2-1 score line but lost one of their best defenders.
