'I never gave up hope': Jack Wilshere delighted with England recall after proving his fitness for Arsenal

Jack Wilshere insists he has done what has been asked of him by club and country as he toasted a return to the England squad by starring in Arsenal's win over AC Milan.

The 26-year-old has not represented the Three Lions since their galling Euro 2016 exit at the hands of Iceland but has been called up for the first time since November of that year when he was on loan at Bournemouth.

A string of injury-hit seasons had threatened to end his international career prematurely, while his place at Arsenal was also at risk.
