England boss Capello coy on Arsenal's Wilshere

England manager Fabio Capello was happy with the debut international start of Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.

The 19-year old played his second cap but started for the first time in Wednesday night's 2-1 win over Denmark in Copenhagen, lasting 45 minutes, and although Capello was content with his showing, he stopped short of picking him for the upcoming Eur2012 qualifier against Wales.

"It is too early to decide about Wales now," said Capello.

"He played well. It was not easy in the first half because Denmark pressed and ran a lot, but Jack played with a lot of confidence.

"I am happy with that performance. But now have to wait for a month because all the players have some really important games, not only in the Premier League but in the Champions League too."
