Arsenal academy chief Liam Brady says Jack Wilshere should go to the U21 Euros if he wants.
Gunners manager Arsene Wenger doesn't want to released his prized youngster.
But Brady told talksSPORT: "I don't know about that one and I'm probably going to get myself into trouble here with Arsene Wenger, who will want the boy to have a rest.
"It is the finals and Jack does care dearly about his country and I can understand him wanting to go there. He's been with a lot of the lads in this team for few years and you want to be with them.
"He doesn't seem to have any problem playing game, after game, after game. He's a strong boy."
