Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Jack Wilshere is "not a smoker" after a picture emerged on social media of the midfielder holding a shisha pipe. The Frenchman said the 23 year old had apologised, but added: "One second of your life does not define who you are.
"He is not a smoker. He is sorry about what happened but he has to master his own life."
At Friday's news conference ahead of Saturday's north London derby against Tottenham, Wenger said: "This photo has been taken at half past 12 after the Super Bowl. I don't know what happened really. Away from the club, it is his responsibility to master his life.
"Today, everywhere you go people make photos, but one second of your life does not define who you are."
