Former Arsenal academy chief Liam Brady believes Jack Wilshere's injury problems are down to his courage.

Brady is confident Wilshere can overcome his problems.

"I think Jack is too brave for his own good," said Brady to talkSPORT.

"He goes into challenges where he isn't favourite and he is dangling his leg out. He is too brave for his own good and has paid the price for that.

"But it is early days yet for Jack. You just have to think of how he played for England against Brazil at Wembley that day that England beat Brazil. He was absolutely fantastic. He ran the show in the middle of the park.

"And how he played against Barcelona when Arsenal beat Barcelona in the Champions League - let's hope we can get Jack back to that level."
