Arsene Wenger Confirms That Jack Wilshere Is Not Ready to Start in the Premier League Yet

Jack Wilshere’s latest return from injury has Arsenal fans clamouring for his place in the starting 11. However, Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he isn’t fit enough to start in the league at this particular time.

The 25-year-old spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, but suffered an injury setback late into the season. Now fully recovered, the Arsenal faithful want to see him starting, but Wenger is cautious to entertain the idea in fear of him suffering another injury.

Wilshere has a history of catastrophic injuries and in a year where he is trying to earn a new contract, staying healthy and having a successful season is extremely important.
