Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere insists he deserves his England recall.

Wilshere, 26, has not played international football since England were infamously dumped out of Euro 2016 by Iceland.

He said: "I understand that I haven't played for England for a while so people are going to be watching me but as I'm confident in my own ability I'm looking forward to it.

"It has been about proving my fitness to everyone. I don't think people have ever questioned my ability. Well, some people have!

"But it's about proving my fitness and I am confident in myself and my body. I trust in my body and I'm looking forward to the future.

"Every week you have a point to prove. That's the industry we're in. We're at a level where we are judged week in, week out."
