Arsenal's Premier League hopes have taken a massive blow with the news England midfielder Jack Wilshere faces six weeks out after suffering a hairline fracture to his left foot.

The damaging news will no doubt have been a huge surprise to Wilshere, who confidently told Sky Sports News after the match that he was fine before speaking of his desire to finish the season strong with Arsenal. "It is a bit sore, but just a bruise," he said. "I have had a scan already and I will be all right. "We have all been working hard in training trying to impress the manager, but at the end of the day, it is your club form which will get you in. "These next two months are crucial, it is a big time of the season and then when the England squad is announced, you can only perform to the best of your ability."
