Arsenal midfielder Wilshere suffers setback

Arsenal will be without key midfielder Jack Wilshere for tomorrow night's Champions League qualifier against Udinese and possibly a few matches after that.

The 19-year old has been out of action since injuring his ankle in the pre-season Emirates Cup in late July but he was honing in on a return for this Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester United.

This week, however, as Wilshere tried to quicken his recovery so he could be fit for the do-or-die Udinese meeting, he had a setback and will now certainly miss the Gunners' next two fixtures.

There is also a big chance that he will miss England's Euro2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales early next month.
