Can Jack Wilshere remain injury-free all season?

The Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere believes that survival in English Premier League requires ‘absurd’ fitness levels.

The English international has had his trysts with injuries throughout his short career. Sometimes the supporters wonder if the 23-year-old has spent more time on the medical table than the most of his colleagues (except Abou Diaby and perhaps Theo Walcott).

Wilshere hopes that the new season brings an injury-free campaign to him. He missed the majority of the last season on account of his ankle injury he incurred during the match against Manchester United in November.

It was disappointing to note that his career is littered with more injuries. Back in November, it looked as if Wilshere will be out for the whole season. But, he recovered and made his return towards the end of the campaign and he helped Arsenal retain the FA Cup in May.

Looking back at his career and his rush at careers, Wilshere thinks that the physical demands of the league require immense fitness levels. He believes that the intensity level of the Premier League is much more than the other leagues of the World.

Wilshere feels that the time off from the team is tough because of the work with the physios, the specialists and the work in gym. Of course, he is eligible enough to speak on the matter thanks to his rate of injuries.

He is back in pre-season training and feels that he is much better now than what he was from his first injury. Wilshere believes that his core strength is much better now and helps his balance better.

Wilshere is an important player for Wenger and also England. Most of the supporters would be frustrated with his long standing injury concerns but that can’t take away the fact that he is precociously talented.

At the prime of his form, Wilshere can command respect and marshal the midfield at will. This is one reason why Wenger keeps faith in him and hopes that he stays injury-free.

It was not long ago that he was linked with a move to Barcelona as the replacement for Xavi and Iniesta. Wilshere may not have exhibited the levels of consistency that would warrant this move but the talent is always there.

The coming season is crucial for him in more counts than one. Wenger will be hoping to mount a challenge for the Premier League title and Wilshere will be central to his plans. This is also the year of the Euros and so Roy Hodgson will be hoping that Wilshere stays injury free.

How will the season pan out for Wilshere? Will he be able to conjure a year without injuries?

    1. We can hope jack remains fit, jack is a match winner and we need him next season.he can start some games and be our super sub in the others counting on jack to have a wonderful season.

      1. One that is for certain is that the next two seasons for Jack are career defining, he needs to stay fit this season if he wants any chance to be part of Arsenal’s foreseeable future. I just hope he does not end up being Diaby V2, that would be my worst fear.

    2. I cannot, but a couple of my organs can. My brain says no, but my heart says yes. You decide who to believe

    3. I can’t see future of Arsenal but for this site I can see. We are running out of topics so we are article like this. In future we might see “will Sanchez wear orange or white shoes?” Or “Ozil will use lufthansa or british airways to come to london”.

      I check this site very often. It is one of my fav site but nowdays articles are based on rumors from metro and dailymail.

    4. The rate at which we are being asked silly questions on ere, I won’t be surprised if we would one day be asked something like “can you Live without oxygen?”

    1. each of us should be given a day to write all our own articles on here.
      the muff takeover…admin i would bring lsd spaceships , the monkey from outbreak and the full cast of frasier to justarsenal…..
      just think about it

  1. Wenger keeps feith in him bec Wilsher is the best The English side can offer in the moment. He is also one of our most talented player in the team. Him getting minor injuries is no biggy, as long as we do have a big team everything is okay.

    1. He’s one of the few English talents out there. He needs to perform to his best ability.him,Theo,calum,ox,welbeck are great British talents who could called up to the national team anytime. They just need to perform and improve on their game.keeping my fingers crossed.

  2. No Gunner can be injury free guaranteed at Arsenal next season. To become injury free throughout the season will need to have the ability i.e. the natural strength to withstand physical injury in a contact sport like the top professional football. Not only that, man must leave righteously before God for him to receive divine helps from Him. A man can be better protected from career misfortunes if his closer to his Lord than to be far from Him, if I am to say from a Christian life perspective. Prayers move mountains, how ever big the mountains that standing in our ways. A youth must avoid falling into spiritual & moral mistakes that will become a wall between him answer his God. So that one will not fall into a regrettable past that is having a bearing on the present of one’s life and nothing can be done at that stage to change the regrettable status quo. Wojceich Szczesny’s recent engagement to his fiance is exemplary for other Gunners in particular and footballers in general to follow. What is the point of keeping a girl under one’s roof for years and even have children by her. But only to dumped her off later like a rubbish. We know a youth can do that if he has money and fame as he wants to taste live out. But before man and God there will be repercussions later in life as one will be made to account for his deeds by God. What of when those children grew up whose mother was abandoned? How friendly will they be with their father? Would they be on their mother’s side against their father? what the benefit of having a divided home if the other woman also have children for one? The later happiness in life far outweigh the early illicit enjoyment in life.

  3. ACC to MemzDogi on twitter Arsenal are in talks with 2 quality strikers. If our main target doesnt come then we will sign another striker. The other striker plays in Bundesliga.
    Looks like Benzema is our first choice but if it doesnt happen we will go for Bundesliga striker.
    Lewandowski is the only top striker in Bundesliga I know. Does anyone know about other top striker in Bundesliga ?

  5. With United supposedly picking up Schweinsteiger, what happens to Schneiderlin? Maybe he goes to PSG as they’ve just sold Cabaye but he’s already said he wants to stay in England. If nothing else comes up, we are unrivalled when it comes to getting Schneiderlin.

    1. Most United guys are thinking (or may be more hoping) they are getting both BS and MS.

  6. Wenger needs to buy one striker and a defensive mid fielder its important that they are top top quality players that’s the only way we can challenge premiership
