Arsene Wenger believes there were times when Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere feared that his career could be over.
"Jack, though, has always been with a good level of confidence. I believe what he has gone through will make him even stronger." Wilshere will be reintegrated into the first team slowly, with a run-out for the reserves likely in 10 days' time. Wenger added: "Jack had ups and downs, and many downs because he had a few setbacks, but he dealt with it very well, especially in the last three months he was highly focused every day. "Jack was in every day very early and worked all day through. He is rewarded now with a good condition."
