Arsenal’s midfielder will be out for 3 months after undergoing a successful ankle surgery. The English midfielder had to be taken off during the second half of Saturday's 2-1 loss at home to Manchester United, having suffered ankle ligament damage.
An Arsenal statement read: "Jack Wilshere has had successful surgery on his left ankle and will be out for approximately three months.
"An assessment with a specialist confirmed the need for an operation and the 22-year-old had successful surgery to his ankle in London on Thursday afternoon.
"Jack will now commence his injury rehabilitation programme with the Arsenal medical team.
"Everyone at the club wishes Jack a speedy recovery and looks forward to seeing him back on the pitch as soon as possible."
Wilshere posted a picture of himself on Instagram following the operation and wrote: "You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to.”
Manchester United’s Paddy McNair was the one to foul Wilshere at the edge of the box. Wilshere tried to play on for some time but was unable to do so, thus being substituted minutes after going to ground.
Jack Wilshere has scored one goal in 15 appearances for the Gunners this season. He will be joining the Arsenal medical rehabilitation facility and will be hoping to get fit soon enough.
