It has been reported that Arsene
Wenger is concerned over Jack Wilshere’s call-up to the England squad for their
friendly with Scotland.
The London Evening Standard says it is understood that as recently as last night, the
Arsenal midfielder believed he was not in the squad and had made plans
accordingly after being told Wenger was reluctant to release him so close to
Arsenal’s first competitive match.
It is said that talks between Wenger
and Hodgson took place last night and although Wilshere is progressing well in
his recovery from ankle and knee problems that have severely hampered his
career in the last two seasons, the Gunners boss is concerned that any
additional workload could cause a setback.
Arsenal now expect Wilshere to join
up with the squad on Sunday but Wenger is thought to have privately expressed
his reservations to Hodgson about the 21-year-old having any prolonged
involvement.
