Arsenal will not be able to recall Jack Wilshere from his current loan spell at AFC Bournemouth, according to Premier League rules.

Arsenal are facing a bit of a crisis in midfield at the moment as star man Santi Cazorla is expected to be ruled out for the next three months due to injury while Mohamed Elneny is also struggling with illness.

Therefore, there were talks that Arsenal could well elect to recall Wilshere from his loan with Bournemouth but it has now been revealed that doing so is not an option for the Gunners due to FA rules which state that outfield players returning back to their parent clubs prematurely will not be allowed to play.

Wilshere has been impressive for Eddie Howe's Cherries so far this season.
