Jack Wilshere has been ruled out for six weeks after
suffering a hairline fracture of his left foot playing for England on
Wednesday.
The midfielder received lengthy treatment after a
crunching tackle from Daniel Agger just 13 minutes in, but played almost an
hour before being substituted.
A statement from his club side, Arsenal, read: "Jack
Wilshere has sustained a hairline fracture to the navicular bone in his left
foot.
"Wilshere suffered the injury during England’s
international match with Denmark on Wednesday night at Wembley Stadium, in
which he played 59 minutes.
"Following initial scans carried out by the FA on
Wednesday night, further investigation by Arsenal’s medical team has discovered
a crack to a small bone in Jack’s left foot - the navicular, an area of his
foot which has not been previously injured.
"Jack will now require a period of approximately six
weeks’ rehabilitation, before starting to regain his match fitness."
