Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is happy for Jack Wilshere to gain more experience with England next week.

Arsenal will have a large number of players involved in next week's friendly between England and France at Wembley.

Teenage midfielder Wilshere look set for another senior call-up by Fabio Capello and could be handed a first start.

"Of course it is good for Jack to feel he is part of the national team, and he has a chance because in friendlies you can look at players," Wenger said.

"Jack is a player who had an exceptional start to the season, has given a lot and has full commitment, a good combination of talent, intelligence and is still very young."
