Arsenal star Jack Wilshere could return for the Gunners as soon as tomorrow with his agent tweeting that he has been included in the first squad for the Norwich clash.
Wilshere, who last played for the senior side 14 months ago when he sustained a stress fracture ankle injury.
However, it seems that the star midfielder is getting ever nearer to a comeback for the first team.
Wilshere’s agent Simon Bayliff has taken to Twitter to claim his client will travel with the Arsenal squad to Norwich, with the Gunners playing the Canaries at Carrow Road tomorrow. He tweeted: “It’s been two “good news” days in a row. Doesn’t happen very often. Jack travels to Norwich in the #AFC 1st team squad! Delighted.”
This is despite it being thought that Wilshere would not play for their first squad again until the League Cup match against Reading later this month.
Additionally, the news also comes after Arsène Wenger said earlier in the day that the next match he is due to play in is Arsenal’s reserve fixture against Everton on Monday. He said that the midfielder was ready mentally to return, but some improvement physically was still needed. He said: “There are two aspects. One is the apprehension to go into challenges when you have too many injuries, on that front we are at 100 per cent. We even have to calm him down. He goes for every challenge and has no apprehension. Then you have the physical front – he is okay there. Then you have the match fitness which is 80 per cent. He needs one more game, maybe Monday night with the reserves, then he should be back.”
