Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he had no problems with the England FA over the number of minutes of action Jack Wilshere would be involved in when England played Chile and Germany.

Wilshere has been used sparingly in the past few games at Arsenal owing to an ankle injury, but he played 71 minutes against Chile and came on for the last 26 minutes against Germany.

Wenger said, “First of all Jack is not injured, that was not the right information.”

“Secondly, I have no problem with the Football Association. They respected completely what they told me and it was for Wilshere to play in one game and be on the bench in the other.

There was an agreement in place between Arsenal and the FA and Wenger mentioned that they did not over play Wilshere.

“They did that very well. So there is no misunderstanding there. They did exactly what we had agreed.”
