Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere ruled out until April Wilshere was previously sidelined for 17 months following a stress fracture to his ankle that eventually required surgery but this most recent injury is to the other ankle and Arsenal are hopeful that he will recover with three weeks' rest. "Jack Wilshere is out of the Munich game," said Arsène Wenger, the Arsenal manager. He has an inflamed ankle, the other ankle to the one he injured. He will be out for three weeks and will not be available for Munich, Swansea and not for England. Hopefully for the Premier League he will miss only one game. After is an international break. We can slowly prepare him. Wenger said that he had noticed Wilshere having difficulty in the recent matches against Aston Villa and Tottenham. "I could see in the last couple of games he had started to dig deep," said Wenger. He has played 30 games. For us it is not welcome but maybe for him it is not bad that he has a little breather. It is more about prevention. The specialist decided he needed it. He has some bone bruising. The last time it deteriorated into a stress fracture. That's what we don't want to happen. We trust people who are specialists in this area. He was out for 17 months and we had to deal with it, we must be able to deal with it for two or three games. Kieran Gibbs, the left-back, does return today to the Arsenal squad that will travel to Munich following more than a month out with a thigh injury. Abou Diaby will also have a fitness test this monrning but Bacary Sagna is still out, meaning Carl Jenkinson will start at right-back tomorrow in Munich when Arsenal will aim to overturn a 3-1 first leg deficit.
