Jack Wilshere has been included in the Arsenal squad for Saturday's Premier League match against Norwich.
Perhaps of more concern to Pearce will be Wenger's belief that players should not be asked to play for the U21 side once they have made the step up to their respective national senior squads. "I never believe that a player, once he has gone up to the top team, plays well with the U21s. It does not exist - I have not got one example," he said. "That is why I believe England has to make a decision - is Jack in the first team and not in the U21s?"
