Arsene Wenger is looking for his Arsenal side to put in a 'big game' against Bayern Munich and reignite their season.
Wilshere's ankle problem will also rule him out of England's World Cup qualifying double-header against San Marino and Montenegro. Wenger said: "It is a big blow for us, of course, but he was out for 17 months and we had to deal with it, so three weeks compared to that is something that we can deal with." The Gunners boss maintains this evening's showdown must all be about what his own side can produce and not just down to whether Jupp Heynckes' well-drilled outfit have a rare off day. "It is difficult to speculate on any weakness in Bayern. The only way we can do is to focus on Bayern being at their best," he said. "The fact they dominate their championship so much gives everybody a bit more mental strength and the whole team a bit more charisma, the doubt is not there at all. "But for us the target will be to get some doubt in their minds and that can only come with a quality game."
