Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere in club versus country row Gunners" manager Arsene Wenger was understood to have requested that the midfielder, who is recovering from ankle injury, play in only one of the two matches at Wembley. The 21-year-old, however, started and completed 71 minutes in the 2-0 defeat by Chile, and then came off the bench to play in the final 26 minutes of the 1-0 loss against Germany, where he took a kick from substitute Sidney Sam. Wilshere is no longer a regular starter at the Emirates, due to the stunning form of Aaron Ramsey, plus recent £42.5m signing Mesut Ozil, and he has now conceded that he is not guaranteed to start at international level either, and could fall even further down the pecking order due to the emergence of youth players close to breaking through, such as West Ham's Ravel Morrison. You have seen the talent there is over the last couple of months - even in the Under-21s with Ravel Morrison and all these players coming through. You are never guaranteed, and cannot rest on your laurels," said Wilshere, who is hoping to be fit for Arsenal's home league match against Southampton on Saturday. You are only as good as your last game, they say, so when the time comes, I have to be on top form, and there will be a lot of players looking to be as well.
