West Ham midfielder Jack Wilshere isn't giving up on his career after undergoing a hernia operation.
The 28-year-old, who joined on a free transfer in 2018, has seen his time at the east London club blighted by a string of setbacks - and has made just 16 appearances.
And although his injury woes continued after requiring surgery, Wilshere is adamant he will bounce back to feature for the Hammers again.
The former Arsenal youngster, reportedly earning £100,000 a week, posted on Instagram: "Laugh at me, but remember I am a human being who only wants to get my boots on and play football, the one thing I love.
"And my body at the moment is not allowing me to. This is hurting me bad, but I will be back."
The injury-plagued star also shared photos after his operation, stating that "tough times don't last".
