THREE MONTHS out for Arsenal's Wilshere

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will be out for about three months after ankle surgery, the Gunners have revealed. The England player injured ligaments in his left ankle during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Premier League rivals Manchester United at Emirates Stadium.

"Everyone at the club wishes Jack a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch as soon as possible," read a statement.

He also wrote: "Work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight.

"You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.

"If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive."
