Arsenal's new no.10 is closing in on a comeback, and it can't come soon enough for player, club and fans.
Jack Wilshere has been making sensational progress recently and is
penned in for a return to full training in two weeks time. He's
undergone a stringent running regime in the last month to get him back
to fitness but also test his agility and range of movement; he's passed
with flying colours and most importantly, no ill-effect.
This
week Wilshere has continued his running and should progress on to ball
work over the next few days. Club physios have assessed and tested his
ankle & knee, and are "delighted with it". Big 10 days ahead for
Jack as he makes the transition from rehabilitation-to light training-to
full-training and "he's coming along nicely". The lack of activity for a
midfielder in the market reinforces the confidence the club have in
Jack's return, which is getting ever closer.
The boy who I used
to call "The English Messi" when watching him play on the wing for
Arsenal reserves and youth at Underhill, is a credit to our football
club. Often first in and last out of the training ground despite his
terrible luck with injuries, Jack has handled himself superbly and shown
the drive that a future captain of our football club needs.
I
think I speak for all when I say I can't wait to hear the roar that
goes up when he steps onto the glorious green carpet at the Grove...
