Arsenal sweat over Jack Wilshere's latest injury scare as star faces three months out
ARSENAL ace Jack Wilshere faces another lengthy stint on the sidelines with his latest ankle injury worse than first feared.
Jack Wilshere - Spotlight On
Wilshere sustained the knock in training over the weekend and scans have now revealed the midfielder suffered a suspected hairline fracture, according to the Daily Mail.
While Arsenal expect a final diagnosis by the end of the week, if he needs surgery, he could be out for up to three months.
The Gunners had previously stated Wilshere would miss the start of the season and would return after the international break in September.
The best possible scenario for Arsene Wenger would see Wilshere sidelined for six to eight weeks.
But this new injury the latest in a long line of problems for Wilshere, who only returned to action in May after suffering ankle ligament damage after a challenge by Manchester United's Paddy McNair in November.
This latest set-back could raise fears for Wilshere's long-term future at the Emirates.
