England boss Roy Hodgson has stated that Jack Wilshere is slowly getting back his match sharpness.

Wilshere has been included in the England national team for the upcoming European Championships despite hardly featuring for Arsenal this season and many are doubtful that the 24-year-old will be able to perform to his best in France.

However, Three Lions manager Hodgson was left encouraged by Wilshere's performance in Sunday's 2-1 friendly win over Turkey and feels the injury-plagued midfielder is returning to his best.

The England boss said: "The sharpness is coming. He certainly didn't show any signs of having any particular physical problems against Turkey.

"It was still the Wilshere that I remember. What bothered me most about him was "was he going to be limping around? Was he going to be able to do the running and the movements I associate with him?".

"Because he is, of course, a different type of midfield player to the others. We hope that with every training session and every week that goes by he is going to get fitter."
