Arsenal boss Wenger: Wilshere can handle Gravediggers

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has no concerns playing Jack Wilshere tonight at Partizan Belgrade. Stadion FK Partizan will be at boiling point come kick-off, as The Gravediggers look to extend Arsenal's record of failing to win away in the Champions League since last September.

Wenger admitted that he would have no concerns about the temperament of Wilshire, if the 18-year-old is picked tonight.

"I would not be afraid to play him," he said. "It is a possibility he will play. I rested him on Saturday. It was just a question of having a breather. He is 18 and has played every single game recently."
