a The information you have heard about Jack Wilshere is right,a Wenger told the club website, confirming reports that had appeared in the British media earlier in the day.
a I had a bad surprise because it is a hairline crack in his fibula that makes him a few weeks out.
a There is minimal damage apart from the bone damage a there is no damage at all apart from that. It was a collision in training and it was all completely accidental.a

We are very low tonight that Wilshere might have little bit hairline fracture. And no, that is not a fracture of his hairline.

Wilshere Injury has nothing to do with our medical staff. Down to bad luck. Can’t believe he’s crocked again. Must be devastated.
