Jack Wilshere will miss Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Burnley because of a knee injury.
The
England international sat out last weekend’s win over Sunderland
through suspension but he had been expected to return for the visit of
Sean Dyche’s side to the Emirates.
However, he sustained a knee injury on training and will not be risked at the weekend.
“There
is a slight problem with Jack Wilshere, Kieran Gibbs has a test. He
[Wilshere] got a kick on his knee, it is very, very short-term,” Wenger
told his pre-match press conference.
Theo Walcott was thought to
be closing in on a return to the Arsenal first-team following his
cruciate knee ligament injury, but Wenger has revealed the winger is not
ready.
“He is not completely ready. He’s been out for too long
to start. He wants to play, but that’s a period where the patience is
tested,” Wenger confirmed.
“The players wants to play, but then much later realise they weren’t ready. He knows he is not completely there yet.”
