This is a bit of good news for Arsenal Football Club and Arsene Wenger, but the one man who is surely the happiest with it is the player himself, as Jack Wilshere is fast catching up with the former Gunner Abou Diaby for the title of the unluckiest man in football.
Once again the England international midfield star is going to miss the start of a Premier League season, although this time at least it does not appear that he will miss the whole thing as he did last year. Then it was a training ground injury just as things were about to get underway and this time it was similar, as he had only just returned to pre-season training when he heard about the Patella problem.
However, the manager revealed in his post match comments after beating Viking FK, reported by the Daily Mail, that Wilshere will resume full training with the Arsenal squad when they return to London after the final pre-season game against Man City.
Great news for Jack and good news for Arsenal, but it seems impossible that he will be fit enough to make the squad for the EPL opener with Liverpool. But do you think Arsenal will finally get a good season from Wilshere or will he be another Diaby?
