Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere insists he has no long-term injury concerns.

Wilshere is adamant a stress fracture of the ankle is no in the past.

"I have read that I need to change the way I play, not run with it as much," he told the Mail on Sunday.

"But then I wouldn't be the player I am so I can't do that. When I was younger and I was out for eight or nine months with my first injury, I used to think, 'Will I get back to the same level, will I come back the same player?'.

"Once you have been through it and you realise you can come back with hard work, it's much better."
