The injury status of Arsenal’s English double-act Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere has been the story on everyone’s lips this week, with Arsene Wenger adding fuel to the media fire by revealing that both will be fit for the Gunners’ game with Southampton this weekend.
Firstly, Wenger quelled any rumourings of his outrage directed at the Football Association surrounding the amount of game time accumulated by injury-prone midfielder Jack Wilshere over the International break.
Wilshere has not featured heavily for Arsenal recently in the Premier League due to the troublesome ankle injury that kept him sidelined for a lengthy spell last season. Allegedly, a deal was struck between the FA and Arsenal preventing the 21-year-old from playing in both games.
However, Wilshere did feature in both the 2-0 loss to Chile and the more recent 1-0 defeat to Germany at Wembley.
