Everton midfielder Osman can't relate to Wilshere antics

Everton midfielder Leon Osman can't relate to the antics of Arsenal's Jack Wilshere.

Wilshere has been snapped smoking in recent weeks while partying with family and friends.

"I don't know about that. Personally, I've never smoked and I don't understand that. People go out for a glass of wine but I don't think there is the drinking through the week anymore that used to go on," Osman told the Daily Mail.

"Players don't drink much, if at all, in some cases, they eat the right things; off the field you have computer analysis for preparation. You have fitness coaches, who have assistants to assess another part of you, who have assistants to tell you what muscle groups you're using.

"When I started there were some doing things the right way, there were some who didn't bother until the day before the game. I used to think I could get away with eating what I wanted but now the preparation starts as soon as you finish the last game."
