Wilshere could return for Manchester United
Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere could make a timely return from injury to play Man Utd in the Premier League battle next weekend. United could win the title in the game against the Gunners.
"He was in a bit of pain after the Everton game and I just felt to give him three games in six days would be too much," Wenger told reporters. "Now he has a break until next Sunday, so he will be available (against United).
"There is no basic ankle problem. I just do not want to go into a vicious circle again when I play him, I play him, I play him and then suddenly (he has a problem). I think coming back after six weeks out, two games in a week was enough.
"I don't want the game in England to lose the commitment and combative side, but Jack has a game that is based on dribbling so he is more exposed to kicks than players who are just passing players. You don't want him to lose that because that is his strength."
