Wilshere admits to frustration but intent on helping Arsenal title push

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere is determined to soon make his comeback and help the club win the Premier League title.

The talented yet injury-prone 24-year-old has not featured for the Gunners this season after sustaining a hairline fracture of his fibula at the end of July.

Wilshere is slowly working his way back to full fitness and with Arsenal sitting fourth on the table after 24 matches, is intent on having a positive impact one he gets back on the pitch for the North Londoners who have not won the league title since 2004.

"[My recovery is] going well," Wilshere told Arsenal Player.

"I'm back on the pitch and I'm just trying to build my fitness up because everyone knows how tough it is to play in the Premier League. I'm working on it and I'm slowly getting there.

"Sometimes it's been difficult to stay positive, especially after the injuries that I've had which have been frustrating, but as the injury goes, you get closer to full fitness and you see the light at the end of the tunnel, then you start to think about coming back and getting involved in the team."
