Arsenal rocked as Wilshere suffers setback during injury recovery

Arsenal crock Jack Wilshere is facing FIVE months on the sidelines.

The Sun says Wilshere has suffered a setback in his recovery from an ankle injury and will now be out until MARCH.

The Gunners midfielder suffered the injury after being on the receiving end of a crunching tackle by Manchester United defender Paddy McNair in the 2-1 defeat to Louis van Gaal's side late last month.

And Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been rocked by the news that England international Wilshere will spend five months in the treatment room rather than three.
