Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is worried by Jack Wilshere’s latest injury and said that ‘it does not look good’ for the midfielder.
The England international was hauled off during his side’s 2-1 loss to Manchester United after a challenge by Paddy McNair and is now waiting to discover the true extent of his injury and exact time out of action.
“It does not look good,” said the Frenchman.
“There is no bone damage but there is ligament damage. It is just how [long] it is, which we should know next week.
“It is so sad because he just came back and had found his mobility. I hope it will not be surgery, just in a boot, but it will be a few weeks.”
Wenger then touched on the challenge by McNair, but refused to blame the young Man United defender.
“The tackle caught him from the side, just when he had moved the ball a bit forwards too much.
“Then, when he dived to make the pass, McNair came in to make the tackle and took him from the back and the side. When you see the picture, it is very bad.
“I don’t think it was a tackle with the desire to hurt. I think he went for the ball but it was a late tackle; a tackle which a young player can do. It was a bad foul.”
