Leg break won't impact Wilshere's Arsenal future, says Wenger

The midfielder will not see action for Bournemouth before the end of the term and his manager has pledged it will have no influence on contract talks

Contract talks between Arsenal and Jack Wilshere will not be affected by his latest injury set-back, manager Arsene Wenger has insisted.

The Gunners confirmed on Wednesday that the 25-year-old has suffered a fractured fibula and will be out of action until next season.

Wilshere has spent 2016-17 on loan at Bournemouth after becoming concerned about a lack of first-team opportunities at Emirates Stadium, with the England international expected to hold talks about an extension to his contract on his return to north London.
