Jack Wilshere to undergo ankle surgery

Jack Wilshere will undergo surgery on his right ankle on Monday morning.

Wilshere has recently been wearing a protective boot aimed at allowing a stress fracture of the ankle time to heal naturally and avoid surgery.

However, scans this week have revealed that the fracture has not responded positively during this period.

Throughout Jack's injury, the Club has been guided by the continuous advice of several world-renowned specialists. The information attained this week has led to the conclusion that surgery is now required to gain an optimal response.

Wilshere is now expected to be out for a period of months. Following surgery these timescales will become more specific.

A Club spokesman said: "We have given Jack time to heal naturally which is important wherever possible with a young player. The latest scans show surgery is needed. Everyone at the Club wishes Jack a speedy recovery."

Probably out for the year.

@Youngungsblogs: Benik Afobe, Abou Diaby and now Wilshere all told weeks out, but turned into months. This is more than being 'unlucky.'

[-Xs-]

Out for the season. Shame we have the most clueless medical staff in the league

[gunnerrrrr]

This is fucking unbelievable, no wonder Cesc got his own medical guys towards the end, these fuckers are incompetent.

Rosicky
Vermalen
RVP
Diaby
Wilshire

How many fucking times will they get it wrong...i mean why not sort this shit out in the fucking summer or even after pre-season.

I'm sorry this is incompetent, so we are now without Cesc, Nasri and Wilshire, basically our midfield from last year....

Speechless........

getting sick of this bullshit

[Xhaka Can’t]

This season.

Wow.

What a surprise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As mentioned above, this is happening too many times now for it to be a coincidence. Always the "10 days" turning into 10 years, because the injury is "worse than we thought it was" etc. etc.

Its a joke. Coupled with the fact that our training methods seem to make players more susceptible to injuries than any other team in the league, you really despair sometimes, but then again, you don't need to, as its no surprise and will happen again.

Oh FFS.

Deprived of the one battler we need in the team right now. We are cursed.

Hope he gets well soon and when he is back I hope he's able to quickly reach the level he was at last year. To see an injury like this to such a great young talent is just sad, it could set him back a season or 2 in terms of development.

He tweeted about hopefully being back at Christmas but I guess that should be taken with a pinch of salt.

60 games played by the kid last season because we won't buy anyone fucking decent to give our key players some cover. Everyone, from top to bottom, has left this club in a shambles. When is somebody going to take responsibility and walk? I remember not being worried when Wilshere was initially injured because it was quickly reported it was minor and he'd be out for a couple of weeks. Then I thought, no wait... not the dreaded 2 weeks, and here we are again, same old BS. So much for things improving on the pitch when Wilshere gets back. So much for Wenger looking after the youngsters and bringing them through sensibly. Having our collapse at the start of the season is a bit of variation, I suppose. Is everyone absolutely sure this isn't a season long collapse this time and it will all magically improve any time soon?

We should have played him less....... and bought Yaya, Young, SWP, modric and the other half a dozen quality players that literally begged to come to us at a certain time.
