Wilshere’s return and a chance for Giroud

Ever since Wenger intimated that Wilshere would be set to play in an U21 against West Brom, there has been a whisper that one of our brightest young players may actually be able to play a part in our season. We shouldn’t get our hopes up too much because players rarely return from a long injury lay-off at the same level as they were before – see Rosicky, Ramsey, Eduardo. There’s also the likelihood that he will have a few “setbacks” as is natural with a player getting used to Premier League football after 14 months out. And I’m sure Wenger will be particularly careful and gradual with regards to Jack’s return, because he is a valuable asset to the club – he’s a young English box-to-box midfielder who is considered the future of the national team, and he’s a true Gooner.
