| Jack Wilshere has yet to feature for Arsenal this campaign after suffering an injury in pre-season |
JACK WILSHERE has revealed he is working as hard as he can in his rehabilitation but “won’t rush” his return from injury.
The Arsenal midfielder has not featured for the Gunners this season after he suffered a hairline fracture to his left fibula at the end of pre-season.
In his absence Arsenal have moved joint top of the Premier League table alongside Manchester City.
Despite being eager to get back playing, the 23-year-old insists he will remain patient as he seeks a return to full fitness.
“It’s going well,” he told the Arsenal official website. “I’m working as hard as I can to try to come back. I know what it takes because unfortunately I’ve been injured a few times in my career and I know what it takes to come back. I’m not going to rush it. I’ll make sure my body’s right and at the moment I’m feeling good.
“Mentally this one has been the toughest to take because I had a big injury last year, came back, got myself fit, back in good form, played for England. Then I cut my holiday short for two weeks and came in to try to get myself right for this season.
“I thought, ‘This season I need to be fit for the whole season and go into the Euros with a whole season behind me’. Unfortunately on the last day of pre-season I got injured so it was probably the toughest one for me to take.”
