BREAKING NEWS: Wilshere out for three months

Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere has been ruled for three months after undergoing surgery on an ankle injury sustained against Manchester United.

Wilshere was left in a heap under a challenge from United youngster Paddy McNair as Louis van Gaal’s side ran out 2-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium last weekend.

And the England midfielder is now set for another extended spell on the sidelines, having gone under the knife to mend damaged ligaments in his left ankle.

The news comes as a major blow to Arsene Wenger, who is also set to add Mikel Arteta to his lengthy injury list after the Spaniard limped out of Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.
