England midfielder Jack Wilshere picked a minor injury in their pre-world cup friendlies and there were news as to what his club, Arsenal will react.

Arsenal have “no issue” with England after midfielder Jack Wilshere was injured while on international duty.

It is reported that Wilshere, 26, could be available for Stoke on Sunday despite missing the friendlies against the Netherlands and Italy.

The Gunners assistant manager Steve Bould, speaking at Thursday’s news conference as Arsene Wenger has lost his voice said Wilshere’s return from England duty was only a precaution.

“Jack had a bit of a knee problem, he has come back and he is fine, “said Bould.

“As far as I’m aware, there is no issue [with England].”

Wilshere’s performance for Arsenal this season earned him a recall to the England squad this came after a sustained run for the Gunners; he did not travel with the team to Amsterdam for Friday’s 1-0 win.

Arsenal assistant manager, Bould also talked on the French striker Alexandre Lacazette as he could make his comeback from knee injury against Stoke City.

England manager Gareth Southgate had been hopeful Wilshere would be able against Italy at Wembley but he stayedwith his club.

Arsenal are sixth in the Premier League, 13 points behind fourth-placed Tottenham with eight games remaining, and Wenger has been criticized heavily this season.

“I admire him immensely, said Bould of the long-serving Gunners boss.

“He takes unbelievable stick off a lot of people but he is one of the great managers and it is a pleasure to sit next to him.”

Arsenal aim to finish in the champions league qualification zone if possible, but are still in the Uefa Europa League with an eye on the cup.
