RETURN: Jack Wilshere could play for the Under-21s next week

The Arsenal midfielder has not played all season after breaking his leg in August but could feature in an Under-21 clash against Newcastle next Friday, according to the Daily Mirror.

And Gunners coaches are reportedly confident he will be back in first-team action before the end of the campaign.

Wilshere is desperate to be fit for the European Championship with England boss Roy Hodgson keen on including him in his 23-man squad.

The 24-year-old bagged a brace in his last competitive game when England beat Slovenia in June.

Arsene Wenger revealed earlier this month that Wilshere was back in light training.

"Jack Wilshere is doing well," the Arsenal boss said on Friday.

"He is out running today so he is very positive.

"I saw him run, it looked quite impressive.

"His power is back, he doesn’t look to be holding back and that is good news.

"If he can continue that now I believe he is out of the tunnel."

It was reported in January that Wilshere has agreed a new deal in principle worth £110,000-a-week which will keep him at the Emirates Stadium until 2021.
