Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has revealed that he had his share of self-doubt during his recovery from injury last season.

The 24-year-old suffered a fibula fracture last summer and could manage only three appearances for the North London club during the 2015/16 campaign.

The England international has a history of varying leg problems and has failed to enjoy an injury-free season with his club since his breakthrough in 2010/11 admits there have bee times when he has wondered if the rehab would ever end.

"You always have those days when you are in the gym where you think you're not going to get back, but the thing that kept me going was I know what it takes to get back and I always had time on my side so I was confident," he said.

"I remember my first training session back, which was eight weeks ago, and ever since then I've just been trying to work, get better and get fitter each day.

"The most important thing for me now is to get games and to get that match sharpness. I know what it's like coming back from injury and with every game I'll feel better."
