Specialists have assured Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere his injury woes won't affect his game.

The Sunday Mirror says Wilshere 23, has been plagued by ankle injuries for most of the season and restricted to a handful of games.

He sought the advice of a specialist to discover if there was any permanent problem but was told there is no weakness in either his bones or ligaments and he will be back to 100 per cent in a short time.

His problems have been caused by the effects of late challenges and there will be no lasting damage.
