Wilshere has struggled with various injuries throughout his career

During the 2015/16 season, the former Arsenal man was out for eight months with a fractured fibula – and he explains how Arsene Wenger allowed him extra time away from football to be with his family.It was tough to take because I was making my way back to where I wanted to be and all of a sudden my four-year-old son was having seizures on the floor,” the 27-year-old said.Ian Wright talks about Aaron Ramsey leaving Arsenal and David Dein's exit “I forgot about football. I remember saying to my wife [Andriani], Im not sure I can do this any more.“Thats why I speak highly of Arsene – he was brilliant. He said, Listen, deal with your son, you take however long it takes.This is why this injury took so long. People think you get injured and they say, Hes always injured, hes injury-prone, hes never going to be fit’, but they dont realise what goes on.
