Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere made another important step towards full fitness by coming through ninety minutes of the Under-21’s clash against Stoke.
The highly rated footballer has been out on the sidelines with an ankle problem since November, but he finally appears ready to return into action.
Wilshere started for Arsenal Under-21 side together with Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby and lasted full ninety minutes on the pitch.
“You can train as much as you like but you can’t get that match fitness unless you play,” Wilshere told club’s official website.
“In the Premier League you know how quick it is so you have to get back to that speed.
“I feel like I’m ready to play some part. When you’re injured you look at your comeback date and the games around that time.
“The one that stands out is the FA Cup semi-final but even before that we’ve got big games and we’ve got to go to Man United as well so there’s a chance to play this season.”
The talented midfielder could take some part in the next league clash against Burnley, where the Gunners are 1.57 (4/7) to make it eight Premier League wins on the bounce.
