Arsenal star Jack Wilshere reveals he'll be back in training within two days after getting all clear on ankle injury

Arsenal fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief after Jack Wilshere confirmed he will return to action as soon as this weekend after getting the all clear on a worrying ankle injury.

The midfielder caused major concern after he was forced off the field on the hour mark during Arsenal's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea on Wednesday evening.

Wilshere, who wore the captain's armband on the night, came off worse in a heavy clash with opposing midfielder Danny Drinkwater and limped off the field after originally attempting to shake it off.
