Arsène Wenger has urged Gareth Southgate to include Jack Wilshere in his England squad for the upcoming friendlies against Germany and Brazil. Wenger has picked Wilshere six times for Arsenal this season, almost exclusively in the cup competitions, and the manager feels that the midfielder has found an encouraging groove.
Wilshere’s injury problems have been well documented but Wenger said that the 25-year-old had now turned a corner. For the past three weeks the manager has been able to treat him like every other member of his squad in terms of training and conditioning work.
Southgate names his squad for the showpiece Wembley fixtures on Thursday and Wenger said that Wilshere would start in an attacking midfield role at home to Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League that evening.
“I think that Jack is ready [for England],” Wenger said. “He was not three weeks ago but he is today. He’s ready. He’s competitive. In every single competition, he’s ready to play. I would encourage him [Southgate] to do it.
“I can only repeat what I personally think – I don’t know how you can keep a super-fit Jack out of the England squad. I manage him, at the moment, like every single player. Since three weeks [ago], he is treated like any other player.”
