Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he looks to Jack Wilshere in Cesc Fabregas' absence.
For many, Wilshere is already the natural successor for Cesc for when he eventually returns to Spain.
Wenger said: "Our game goes naturally through Fabregas. When he's not there, it'll go more through Wilshere.
"The way of the game is simple. It goes always through the team's strong points.
"The game going through Wilshere is a good thing for him because it means the players around him have confidence in him."
